The Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, has commended apex
Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Yoruba Elders Council (YEC) and
other leaders from the South West, for condemning Operation Python Dance II in the South-East...
The group said the collective and individual condemnation,
to suppress legitimate agitation for freedom, through intimidation and
slaughter of the innocent, has earned Afenifere and other elders an
enduring legacy which history would never forget.
IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr. Emma Powerful said
the Yoruba groups rose up to condemn the evil and “well-oiled
propaganda machinery that seeks to turn truth upside down and make us
believe that light is now darkness and darkness light.
“This rare courage and forthrightness in coming forth, to
speak up in defence of freedom of speech, expression, association and
recognition that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation, has contributed
in convincing humanity that agitation for freedom within Nigeria,
including the right to self-determination, is not a crime.
“We also commend men and women of good conscience, from
across all ethnic divides in Nigeria and across the globe that condemned
the campaign against innocent civilian populations across Biafraland.
“With this public display of courage, we are hopeful that
many more courageous men and women across West Africa and Africa in
general will rise up against this tyranny and oppression in black
Africa, as other races have managed to do.
“With this, IPOB worldwide will remain steadfast and
committed to the pursuit of the finest ideals of liberation to set free
all oppressed and marginalised people in Nigeria and beyond.
“We must all stand firm now because ultimately, power belongs to the people,” Powerful said.
