The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has again warned against any plan by anyone or group to use whatever guise to establish an Internally Displaced Persons Camp (IDP) in the SouthEast, saying the self-determination group will resist such a move.
In a statement issued earlier today (Thursday, October 10) and made available to newsmen, the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful who reiterated the group’s previous warning on the matter, said the IPOB is aware of a plot to disguise the camps as skills acquisition centres by the federal government.
“We wish to reiterate our unequivocal rejection of the establishment of any IDP skills acquisition center in any part of Biafra Land. We are Biafrans, and we do not have displaced persons seeking shelter or skill acquisition from the Nigerian government,” IPOB said in the release by Powerful.
“As a matter of fact, Biafrans know the true agenda behind this proposed skills acquisition center project. We state categorically that this covert operation to import terrorists and bandits into Biafra Land is dead on arrival.
“In light of the said project, IPOB is warning all Igbo politicians who see the deployment of terrorists and bandits in the name of IDP camp as their dividend of democracy from a Federal Government that hates the Igbo Nation of Biafra to be ready for the consequences.
“What these politicians do not understand is that Alaigbo is a sacred land that can never be polluted nor conquered by their uncircumcised invader friends.
“IPOB and Ndigbo will not sit by and watch the selfish and treacherous politicians mortgage the future of unborn Biafran generations for their political ambition. We will not allow the importation of foreign terrorist marauders into Biafra Land in their quest to change the demography and homogeneity of the Biafra Nation.”
“We fought and frustrated the Fulani government of Nigeria’s RUGA project. We also fought and resisted the Fulani invasion when they forcefully occupied our forests and bushes.
“We shall always resist any form of Fulani encroachment into the Biafra territory by any other means. The wise learn from history .
“In the eighteenth century, the Indigenous Hausa politicians thought they would use the Fulani militias to remain politically relevant but ended up selling their generations to the Fulani Caliphate, who later conquered them.
“Today, both the Hausa politicians and the Hausa people have been enslaved in their lands by the Fulani Caliphate. Therefore, the stupid and selfish Igbo politicians who thought they would remain politically relevant forever by pleasing their Fulanis masters should learn from the mistake of the indigenous Hausa politicians.
“Not an inch of Biafra Land is available for IDP camp. The internally displaced persons in the North should be accommodated in the Northern region where there is a vast space of land. Greedy Igbo politicians should know this and know peace.”
