The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in its fight to actualize Biafra has declared that it will not resort into war and violence to achieve its aim.
The IPOB president yesterday while on a vi=sit to Katsina State said: “for Nigeria to divide now, it is better for all of us to jump into the sea and get drowned.”
The IPOB in a letter to the President addressed by its counsel, Mr. Emeka Enekesri accused the president of prejudice as the matter was still in court.
According to a copy of the letter made avaailable to news agency, Daily Sun, the IPOB counsel faulted the President’s dismissal of the agitators for the actualisation of the sovereign state of Biafra as “kids who were not born” during the Nigerian Civil War.
The counsel added: “We respect Nigeria and the Nigerian Government.
“Our intention is to set Biafra free from Nigeria by the rule of law and not to destroy Nigeria, just as Eritrea was set free from Ethiopia without destroying Ethiopia; just as South Sudan was set free from Sudan without destroying Sudan; just as Bangladesh and Pakistan were set free from India without destroying India.”
