The Urhobo Progressive Union, UPU, has denounced its inclusion in the proposed map of Biafra by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, warning that Urhobo and its territories should be counted out of any IPOB plan.
Faulting its purported membership of Biafra in a statement issued yesterday, the UPU National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Mumakai-Unagha said, “IPOB have their rights of agitation for freedom of self determination as enshrined in the united nation declaration stressing that other ethnic groups should not be dragged along to avoid the mistake that led to the civil war.
“The magnanimity of Urhobos in allowing Igbos celebrate the Igbo Cultural Day should not be taken for granted as we urge IPOB to delist Urhobo from its proposed map,” they stated.
