THE Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has blamed the announcement credited to
the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr.
Paul Arkwright, concerning the disturbance for
Biafra, describing as appalling and
offensive to Biafrans, the emissary's position
that the United Kingdom, UK, would remain
firm in its support for one indivisible Nigeria.
The High Commissioner was said to have
put forth the expression in Kogi State where he
conveyed an open address entitled, "Brexit:
Lessons, Challenges and Opportunities for
Nigeria."
Analyzing the emissary's announcement, IPOB
Spokespersons, Dr. Ikenna Chinaka and Mrs.
Elegance Ukpai, said it was surprising that a
prepared representative of Mr. Arkwright's standing
could show numbness of international law
also, convention concerning the privilege to individuals'
self determination.
They watched that not minding the self-evident
confinements and inherent deformities of the1999
Nigerian Constitution, power of states
under international law was not thrown in iron
furthermore, could, therefore, be broken, similar to the
case on the issue of Bakassi Peninsula.
They stated: "The point IPOB is making is to the
impact that, in the activity of the sovereign
powers offered on it, a manufactured creation
like the Nigerian state or indeed whatever other
nation, can restrain its own power or
surrender a piece of same.
"Reality the way things are is that the Nigerian
state has, out of its own volition, as of now
surrendered Nigerian sway over Bakassi
Peninsula, which, therefore, empowers any part
of Nigeria or area thereof to withdraw when
they so choose, in spite of the desires and
desire of the neo-colonialists like Mr.
Arkwright. This is similarly valid and remains
same for even Great Britain whom Mr.
Arkwright speaks to in Nigeria.
"Arkwright ought to urge the Nigerian
government the basic of discharging its
commitment under the UN Declaration and
African Charter, to encourage a choice for a
serene Biafra exit from Nigeria.
"It is our expectation that Arkwright acknowledges this
new reality, otherwise we would be compelled to
draw the option inference that he set out
to test the will and resolve of IPOB. This
would be most heartbreaking if it somehow happened to be so
since the unavoidable results of such an
activity won't extra anybody trying to subvert
the will of the Biafran individuals."
Sit at home request not debatable
In the interim, National Coordinator of the IPOB,
Mr. George Onyeibe, yesterday said the May
30 sit-at-home request by the gathering was not
debatable.
Onyeibe made this known to newsmen in
Owerri with agents of IPOB from other
states.
He additionally charged that the utilization of Sharia law to
attempt their detained pioneer, Nnamdi Kanu, would
not be acknowledged by them, adding that it was a
ploy by the Federal Government to "Islamize"
the nation.
He stated: " The privilege for self determination is
presented on man by God as it is upheld by
the unified country constitution. Biafra has an
plan.
"We comprehend that the utilization of Sharia law to
attempt Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was a course of action to
Islamize the nation called Nigeria. Also, their
plan is that when they utilize it on Nnamdi Kanu
also, succeed, it will end up being a reference point
for them.
"From that point they will begin to utilize it against
other individuals. I need to disclose to you that they have
bombed in this their arrangement. The straightforward actuality, is that
we have come to reestablish the sovereign state
of Biafra. Which has existed before the
mighty amalgamation of the district called
Nigeria.
On the issue of the sit at home request by the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Oyeibe said
that it was not debatable, adding that Biafra
ought not be prevented.
Onyeibe stated: " Yes, I will essentially say that
30th of May we don't consult about it. We
keep in mind that some of our individuals have
been murdered. We recollect the one which
happened during the time we were celebrating
the President of the United States of America.
Along these lines, I need to reveal to them that the 30th of May
sit at home is not debatable."
