Buhari Must Remove Terrorist Tag On IPOB - Group Tells UN by akelicious(m): 4:07am On Sep 25, 2019
An Igbo group, Voice from the East (VEAST), yesterday in Enugu pleaded with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to use the opportunity of its ongoing meeting in the United States of America (USA) to mount pressure of President Muhammadu Buhari to remove the terrorist tag on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group, in a statement signed by its convener, Comrade Kindness Jonah, stated that the invitation extended to the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by the European Parliament, is evident that the group is championing self-determination.

“We have been inundated with the outcome of the invitation of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to address European Parliament on the issue of Biafra. Many have expressed reservations on the invitation by the body on somebody that the Nigerian Government tagged ‘a terrorist’.

VEAST pointed out that the terrorist tag on IPOB by Buhari–led government when juxtaposed with the invitation and Nkanu’s landmark address had been “rubbished”.

Commenting further, Jonah queried: “How can a leader of a terrorist ‘group’ be invited to address such a body like European Parliament, yet, Nigerian government calls it terrorist group?

Speaking sarcastically, he said: “IPOB is a terrorist group, but European Parliament invited it; killer herdsmen are aberrantly killing but are not terrorist group, yet, they could not be invited, and Boko Haram, a ‘co- terrorist group’ with IPOB could not be invited.



“Nigeria by this episodic invitation has been pragmatically presented as a Hobbesian state and theater of absurdities. This two ideologues are irreconcilable.”

As if invitation by European Parliament was not enough, stressed Comrade Jonah, United Nations Special Committee of the General Assembly has invited Nnamdi Kanu, the first Nigerian to be so honoured, to speak on Biafra issues as did the European Parliament, the group claimed.

“VEAST is therefore calling on UN to prevail on President Muhammadu Bihari to remove the terrorist tag on IPOB and dialogue with the group like they are doing with bandits, killer herdsmen and kidnappers in the North,” he said.

The group said it has come to the firm conclusion that “semantics of a religious order and not stubborn facts was squarely responsible for the fiendish tag of a terrorist group on IPOB by the government”.

Comrade Jonah called on the Federal Government to unconditionally cancel the unfounded terrorist tag on IPOB and perfectly restructure Nigeria, if it ever thought of stopping Biafra agitation.

Absurd. How can Nigerian govt tag an organisation that has never killed any body a terrorist organisation? The same org is duly registered in Up to 100 other countries in the world . Nigeria can never stop ridiculing itself amongst the comity of nations . Buhari hastily tagged Ipob a terrorist org out of the same hate for Igbos while his fulani kinsmen continue to slaughter Nigerians.

You killed them and tagged them terrorists to justify you killing them plain inhumanity to man

there is no different between ipob and boko boyz .
-both are terrorist
-both decrees self government
-both form there military to fight the federal government, one even said he will go to Abuja and remove the head of PMB
- both parade different national flag
- both temper with the unity of one Nigeria
one funny thing ipob didn't understand is that two Fulanis occupied the second and third position in UN governing body, the work under Buhari before resigning to take the position, do you think they will support ipob against Nigeria?

What you support may eventually come to you . When Nnandi kanu was in prison , Sorowe supported his detention with out knowing that one day he will be in the same shoe but conversely the same NK is canvassing for his release . Can you see the difference between us and them . Condemn injustice whenever it shows up irrespective of whom the injustice is meted out to because you might next . That is one thing we lack in Nigeria we want to be one .

You know what we want . We want Biafra and you know that Unity beggar . You are afraid of having a very powerful nation biafra as your neighbour 2) lose your 10% percent position in Nigeria 3) afraid of fulanis taking over you yoruba land but biafra will eventually go . You guys are confused . You said igbos are bad people and at the same time you dont want them to go . Who is fooling who

Theres no such thing as a terrorist group that is unarmed and doesn't kill people.

-both decrees self government
Self government of where? Even Nnamdi Kanu's home town is still being administered by Umuahia South LGA so where is IPOB governing?

-both form there military to fight the federal government, one even said he will go to Abuja and remove the head of PMB
What makes a military is being armed. If you are not armed, you are not military. He said he was going to get the head of the president? I forgot you Nigerians are so backward that you think just talking is a crime


- both parade different national flag

Everybody has a flag, Oduduwa, Arewa,Biafra, Tiv, NLC etc. Its only when it comes to Biafrans that everyone thinks it's a crime to have a flag

- both temper with the unity of one Nigeria

The law allows anybody to agitate for independence. That's how people like Zik and Awolowo got you the independence you celebrate every 1st October

one funny thing ipob didn't understand is that two Fulanis occupied the second and third position in UN governing body, the work under Buhari before resigning to take the position, do you think they will support ipob against Nigeria?

The government of Buhari just abuses and uses the anti-terrorism laws of Nigeria to to shut up agitation he doesn't like

IPOB should stop acting like cowards, look at Sowore and Falana they took the noble part and took FG to court instead of chest beating and making frivolous demands online

Is it like there are no competent Lawyers or Legal Luminary like Falana SAN, or Olanepekun SAN in the whole of Ibo land? or why are they silent, atleast we know lossers like Onyeakachi Ikpeazu SAN and Prof Nwabueze SAN, abi its only Atiku's money they can chop, they cant do a pro bono work for IPOB
