Biafra: IPOB calls for referendum …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>

On Monday, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) declared that Ndigbo are ready to exit Nigeria.

 

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, stated that those calling for “IgboMustGo” should push for a referendum to facilitate the exit of Ndigbos from Nigeria.

 

This response followed an announcement by a user on platform X, who revealed plans to force Igbos to leave Lagos State under the “IgboMustGo” banner. The user claimed a protest would take place from August 20 to 30 to support this cause.

 

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State condemned the planned protest, calling for unity instead.

 

In a statement, Powerful said: “Following the provocative and genocidal ‘IgboMustGo’ proposed protest slated to commence from August 20-30th, 2024, by some faceless Yoruba groups and persons, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to remind the Yoruba anti-Igbo groups that Ndigbo are ready to exit Yoruba land and Nigeria via a referendum. Ndigbo will not succumb to any threat from any group or persons to leave any state or region in Nigeria.”
