The umbrella body of all the groups agitating for the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra, known as Biafra People National Council, BPNC, has described the quit notice issued on the Igbos by the coalition of Arewa youths as a divine intervention.
The group also called on Igbo people living in the northern region not to have confidence on the promises by Northern politicians and the federal government to protect them, urging them to take the threat seriously and start running down to Biafran land.
BPNC also begged owners of transport companies in Igbo land to reduce all fairs by 50 per cent in order to make it affordable for their people.
This was part of a communiqué signed by Comrade Uchenna Madu for MASSOB, Comrade Felix Obiora for Eastern Peoples Congress, EPC, Rev Dr Stanley Ajah for Biafra Revolutionary Organization, BRO, Comrade Ositachukwu Agbanarilam for Salvation People of Biafra, SP-Biafra, Comrade Prince Onyema for Joint Revolutionary Council, JRC, Comrade Austin Mary Ndukwu for Biafra Liberation Council, BLC, and Comrade Austin Ugwuoke for BULCO.
