Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari will be visiting Enugu state on December 22, 2016, and have threatened to die with the President should he step his foot on Enugu or any part of the area, the group calls Biafraland.
Describing Buhari as “the killer of Biafrans”, they alleged that he has killed over two thousand unarmed and peaceful Biafrans since June 17, 2015, stressing that the President is not allowed into any part of Biafraland until all those detained are released, and Amnesty International report investigated.
Amnesty International, AI, had released a video showing how security agents killed 150 peaceful pro-Biafra agitators, adding that based on visits to hospitals and mortuaries, at least 17 were killed and nearly 50 injured in Onitsha, Anambra state alone.
But according to a statement issued on Monday by its spokespersons, Barrister Emma Nmezu, Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, IPOB warned that “any governor or Igbo politician that receives Buhari in Enugu will have himself or herself to blame”.
The statement reads in full…
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have received information that Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari who committed treason on December 31, 1983, and was rewarded with Nigeria’s presidency after 32 years, will be visiting Enugu-Biafraland on the 22nd of December, 2016. We assert that inviting a killer and persecutor of Biafrans to our land is an insult to the memory of those killed by Muhammadu Buhari. Therefore, we object totally to this visit by the killer of Biafrans. We recall that Buhari started his killing of Biafrans with the assassination of Major General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi on July 29, 1966. He followed up with the mass-murder of over two million Biafrans in 1968 at Owerri during the war of genocide on Biafra by Nigeria and Britain. From June 17, 2015, till date, Buhari has killed over two thousand unarmed and peaceful Biafrans.
We warn any governor or Igbo politician that receives Buhari in Enugu will have himself or herself to blame. We make it public that should there be a breakdown of law and order in Enugu on the 22nd of December, greedy Igbo politicians will have themselves to blame. Any Igbo governor or politician that is found among those hobnobbing with Buhari the killer of Biafrans becomes an enemy of the people and shall pay dearly for it.
Until all those detained are released, and Amnesty International report investigated, Buhari is not allowed into any part of Biafraland. Let Buhari know that if he (Buhari) comes to Enugu or any part of Biafraland, we will die with him there.
We are calling on all Biafrans to descend on Enugu on the said date of 22 December 2016 to show our anger and displeasure at this attempt by some greedy Igbo men to insult the memory of our glorious dead and those still in detention with our leader.
Should Buhari attempt to set foot on Enugu soil everybody involved, from Bart Nnaji to Governor Ugwuanyi will regret it. These criminal Igbo politicians without any iota of shame must know that Buhari is the Grand Patron of the terrorist Fulani Herdsmen that have been rampaging and killing our people in Enugu and other parts of Biafraland in the name of Islam. Buhari is the person behind the rise of the terrorist Fulani Herdsmen and must be made to know that we Biafrans are not in support of sponsors of terrorism. We are the children of the Most High God and do not associate with mass murderers like Buhari. Therefore we don’t want him anywhere around our sacred land.
Any Governor or Igbo politician who is stupid enough to invite Buhari into our capital will be taught a lesson that will reverberate in history. They should try us and see.
A word is enough for the wise!
