NEWSBiafra: IPOB needs referendum not asylum – Nnamdi Kanu replies UK govtPublished on April 20, 2021By Seun Opejobi

Kanu was reacting to reports that the UK government was ready to grant asylum to members of IPOB.

This was, however, condemned by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, who said such action would undermine Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and insecurity.

However, Kanu, who spoke through the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful commended the UK government for such gesture.

A statement by Powerful reads: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great and indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has noted with satisfaction the news that the United Kingdom has agreed to grant asylum to persecuted Biafra agitators resident in the UK.

“While we commend them for this bold initiative, we wish to most graciously remind them that what we Biafrans need and cherish the most is referendum and not asylum in the UK. We are tired of living in bondage in the devilish contraption called Nigeria they single-handedly created.


“We would not wish our children, now and generations unborn, to share the same geo-political space with those that reward terrorists and criminalize law abiding citizens. We particularly thank the UK government for confirming what the rest of the civilized world already know that the great IPOB worldwide family are not TERRORISTS but peaceful agitators and freedom fighters.

“That Nigeria is a country run by terrorists for the benefit of terrorists has been confirmed by this noble move by the United Kingdom
Aso Rock, the seat of power in Nigeria is a terrorist haven with serving ministers who are openly sympathetic to terrorists and their activities coming and going as they please, while freedom fighters are languishing in jail. We want freedom not asylum.”

My thoughts exactly

The UK government is also supporting the Nigeria boko haram sympathizing government.

They are more or less saying ipob and Nigeria go and kill yourselves.

How come the UK are not sanctioning the Nigeria government for killing unharmed protesters

Exactly!

This is my exact sentiments. They created Nigeria not God. They should amend the evil that they created by organizing a referendum through the United Nations.

IPOB should start preparing for all eventualities behind the scenes because Nigeria is a blood thirsty uncivilized country. Even when they know that their worst fears in coming to past, they will make sure to spill as much blood as possible. IPOB should start preparing. This is a new phase that we are about to enter.

no country can forced any nation on division. they can only influence and pressurized it and that's all. maybe by. sections which they cannot do at this time except another civil war broke out.
