The pro -secession group , Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra , IPOB , has signaled
strong interest in meeting with some
United States (US ) Congressmen to
Nigeria, who are on a fact - finding
mission concerning the agitation for a
Biafran State , by making public a list of
some elder statesmen to act as its
negotiators.
The group , which had earlier rejected
the Ohanaeze leadership as its
representatives in the talks with the
Congressmen , named Second Republic
Vice President , Dr . Alex Ekwueme ;
former Secretary- General of the
Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku
and constitutional lawyer, Prof. Ben
Nwabueze, as its representatives.
Others are Dr . Arthur Nwankwo ,
Archbishop Anthony Obinna and Gen.
Alex Madiebo ( rtd).
A press statement from United
Kingdom signed by IPOB
Spokespersons, Mr . Emma Nmezu , a
lawyer, and Dr . Clifford Iroanya, said
that the elder statesmen were chosen
based on their antecedents as “ elders
of proven integrity who will not
compromise the interest of the people
for personal gains” .
The statement read in part : “ We
chose them as credible elders who
will speak the truth without being
easily compromised . All over the
world, fact- finders meet with people
of impeccable pedigree and not
political contractors like Ohanaeze and
similar groups ” .
The statement explained that it
decided to make public the names of
the authorised individuals who could
enter into any negotiation on its
behalf following reports of attempts
by those it described as unauthorised
and self -seeking individuals and
groups , to hijack the visit of the US
Congressmen for their pecuniary
motives.
IPOB advised the US Congress
delegation to beware of impostors and
ensure they only deal with the right
persons.
Nmezu said: “ It has come to the
notice of IPOB that some selfish
individuals who deliberately
misconstrue our genuine intentions
towards the restoration of Biafra are
busy parading themselves as elders or
custodians of our present agitation .
“ Once again, we have been reliably
informed that Ohanaeze Ndigbo has
once again hijacked the proposed visit
of the US Congressmen to Biafraland
thereby positioning themselves as the
mouthpiece of IPOB which is blatantly
false.
“ We have not mandated this group
called Ohanaeze to represent IPOB in
any capacity. That US Congressmen
are in Biafraland today is as a result of
the hard work of IPOB all over the
world in lobbying them .
“ If anyone is concerned about the
plight of Ndigbo they should initiate an
action plan with the intention of
addressing them , not waiting for the
blood of Biafrans to be shed so they
can emerge to pontificate on the way
forward . IPOB would like the world to
know that we have credible traditional
rulers , elder statesmen and
respectable Biafrans capable of
representing IPOB at these talks with
the Americans” , he said.
As at the time of publishing this
report , none of the elder statesmen
mentioned as negotiators on behalf of
IPOB had signified whether they have
accepted or rejected the offer . |

It was a show of shame for the "Rain Maker" as he was busy talking about mystical Powers, Books, Angels and Spiritism when interviewed last night on AIT. What was suppose to be an interview turned out to be a show for "Talks for Spiritism". Many thanks to Niger- Delta Billionaire Ayiri Emami who has been paying the bills of the Legend during & after he came out of "Rehab". Majek Fashek who was suppose to be seen as a Role Model by our youths especially our young musicians is now a shadow of himself as the Music Lengend cannot make two sentences without metioning "spirits". Though he later entertained his guests with one of his hit songs but one could easily tell that the "Send down the rain" Crooner can't talk sense anymore. But take it or leave it "The Music is still in Him". Source "O & M show" On AIT. |
