Indigenous
People of Biafra has expressed their views on the impossibility of
restructuring the Nigerian nation as it maintains its stand of
secession.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked those clamouring
for restructuring of Nigeria to read Section 9 of the 1999 constitution
and find out that such venture is virtually impossible.
In a statement signed by Comrade Emma Powerful, Media and Publicity
Secretary of IPOB, in response to the meeting of South Eastern leaders
in Enugu, weekend, the group said Section 9 of the 1999 constitution
midwifed by General Abdulsalami Abubakar was intended to make slaves of
every part of Nigeria except the North.
Part of the statement reads, “Most surprising of all in the
communiqué (issued by South Eastern leaders after their meeting) was
their display of ignorance of the fact that their plea for restructuring
is dead on arrival because of the stringent and pro-North conditions
stipulated in Section 9 of the constitution upon which any successful
restructuring must be anchored.
“We strongly advise those who are clamouring for restructuring
to go and read Section 9 of the constitution and carry out simple
computation of two-thirds of the number of state Houses of Assembly,
members of Senate, and members of House of Representatives.”
The group said it has resolved to approach the United Nations to
mandate and supervise a referendum that would usher in the sovereign
nation of Biafra and that it was convinced that “the restoration of
the nation of Biafra is a divine project whose time has come and
therefore, unstoppable, unquenchable, irreversible and irrevocable.”
As for the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South East governors,
IPOB argued that that body could not represent Biafra because Biafra’s
geographical jurisdiction exceeded the territory under which both bodies
held sway.
The IPOB said, “It is on record that Ohanaeze is purely an
ethnic-based voluntary socio-cultural organisation restricted to only
the Igbo-speaking people of the old Eastern region of Nigeria.
“Similarly, the lame duck governors of the unconstitutional
South East oversee only some Igbo-speaking areas of the old Eastern
region.
“On the contrary, the nation of Biafra covers 10 states that
were carved out of the old Eastern and Midwestern regions with the
addition of Biafra communities in Edo, Benue, and Kogi states.”
For these reasons, IPOB urged Biafrans to ignore the communiqué
issued by the leaders on the basis that they are not qualified to speak
for Biafra, saying that at the end, it is the people that will decide
what they want.
Still carpeting Ohanaeze and the governors of the South East states, IPOB said, “In
the said communiqué, Ohanaeze and the lame duck governors affirmed
their support for a united Nigeria, a British-created contraption.
“They craved for an egalitarian and a Utopian society within
the context of social and ethno-religious equity in Nigeria but they
forgot that Nigeria is a ranking member of the Organisation of Islamic
Countries (OIC), which contradicts section 10 of the Abdulsalami
Abubakar-written fraudulent constitution of Nigeria.”
They described the communiqué issued at the end of the Ohanaeze meeting as “shameful, disgraceful and cowardly. “
