The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has commended a former United States mayor, Mark Arnold, and members of the US Congress for what it described as their bold interventions on Nigeria.
Arnold had in a recent post shared on Facebook declared that the British government is opposed to the emergence of an independent Republic of Biafra because it does not want to pay reparations amounting to approximately $6 trillion for crimes against the people of Biafra.
Also, US congressmen, led by Riley Moore, have been spearheading a campaign against alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria.
IPOB commended Arnold and the congressmen in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Thursday.
The group equally restated its demand for a referendum, warning that Nigeria, as currently constituted, is a failed experiment hurtling towards disaster.
“The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, under the unassailable leadership of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, warmly commends Mr. Mark Arnold and the courageous members of the United States Congress for their timely and fearless intervention in exposing the unfolding catastrophe in Nigeria.
“Your bold stand has pierced the veil of international silence and complicity that has long shielded the systematic slaughter of Judeo-Christian communities across Nigeria. History will record that at a critical moment, when many chose diplomatic convenience over moral clarity, you chose to speak truth to power — warning Britain and the entire world of the impending doom that awaits Nigeria if the ongoing genocide against indigenous Christians is allowed to continue unchecked,” the statement said.
IPOB stressed that the warnings issued by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, have come to pass, with thousands of Nigerians being killed by Jihadists across the country. It noted that Kanu’s decision to establish the Eastern Security Network, ESN, which the Nigerian government termed an act of terrorism, has kept the South-East safe from the jihadists.
“We make no apology for stating the obvious: every prophecy uttered by our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is coming to pass with clinical precision. Those who doubted him in the past must now confront the bitter reality before their eyes. The handwriting is no longer on the wall — it is written in the blood of thousands of defenseless men, women and children massacred across the Middle Belt, Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, and increasingly in Yorubaland.
“Middle Belt has fallen. Yorubaland is being systematically overrun by killer herdsmen. Only Biafraland, under the visionary leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the gallant efforts of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), remains a fortress — impervious to the Fulani rampage that has turned vast swathes of Nigeria into killing fields.
“To Mark Arnold and the distinguished US Congressmen, the global IPOB family says: Thank you. Thank you for standing tall as true sons of America and defenders of justice. Your intervention has vindicated the Biafran struggle and amplified our cry for freedom before the conscience of the world.”
Insisting that the only path to peace is a UN-supervised referendum, IPOB added, “Let it be stated clearly and without equivocation: the singular demand of IPOB remains a peaceful, internationally supervised referendum for the people of Biafra to decide their political destiny. This is not negotiable. It is the only civilized, lawful, and sustainable solution capable of halting the cycle of bloodshed and preventing Nigeria’s total collapse.
“Any attempt to suppress this legitimate demand through military force, propaganda, or intimidation will only accelerate the very disintegration that sensible voices now fear. The resoluteness of our leader and the unity of purpose across the global IPOB family set us apart as the most disciplined and focused liberation movement of our time.”
The pro-Biafra group in the same vein stated that both the living and the yet unborn owe an eternal debt of gratitude to all who have kept the quest for Biafra alive as a daily global conversation.
“Your sacrifices, resilience, and unwavering commitment in the face of unrelenting persecution have brought us to this historic threshold.
“We therefore call on all Biafrans and lovers of justice worldwide to intensify our diplomatic offensive across every continent. Let every platform, every institution, and every conscience hear this message: Nigeria, as currently constituted, is a failed experiment hurtling towards disaster. Only self-determination for Biafra can avert the greater catastrophe that now stares the world in the face.
“The blind may choose to look away, but the clear-eyed among the international community can no longer pretend not to see the gathering storm. The time for half-measures is over,” the statement added.
