IPOB Deputy Head Mazi Tony Nzurumike Declares Zero Tolerance for Corruption in Strong Address to Biafrans
In an emergency broadcast aired on Radio Biafra and Biafra Television on Saturday, 28 March 2026, Mazi Tony Ogechukwu Nzurumike, Deputy Head of the Directorate of State (DOS) of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), spoke directly to Biafrans worldwide, emphasizing institutional integrity, zero tolerance for corruption, and the need for collective resilience in the ongoing struggle for self-determination.
Nzurumike highlighted the critical role of the Directorate of State (DOS), describing it as an essential institution for oversight and checks and balances within IPOB. He noted that prior to 2022, the DOS faced significant obstructions in performing its duties, but in the past four to five years, it has recorded substantial achievements that must be protected for the benefit of the Biafran people.
"The soul of the indigenous people of Biafra cannot be saved without pertinent checks and balances," he stated, underscoring that the DOS functions as a safeguard against arbitrary decision-making.
The Deputy Head took a firm position against fiscal corruption and indiscipline, declaring that any such acts are "damnable and must be damned," irrespective of the perpetrators' status or location. He praised ongoing recovery efforts led by the IPOB Germany chapter under National Coordinator Mazi Chinedu Collins, while noting that similar issues of looting have been identified in other chapters, including the United States and South Africa.
"Never again should we allow this very soul of this struggle to experience corruption of any sort," Nzurumike declared, calling for sustained vigilance to prevent recurrence.
He linked past lapses in DOS functionality to avoidable losses, stating that many deaths and setbacks could have been prevented if the institution had operated as originally designed. With the DOS now functioning effectively under Head Mazi Chike Edoziem, he expressed optimism that the Biafra restoration project would accelerate.
Nzurumike lauded Mazi Chike Edoziem's leadership of the DOS, describing him as a man of "impeccable character" who ensures decisions undergo thorough discussion and superior argumentation within the collective body. He stressed that no single individual can lead the struggle alone, rejecting any narcissistic or tyrannical tendencies and affirming that "Biafra is bigger than any one of us."
The broadcast reaffirmed IPOB's commitment to a non-violent model of civil resistance, public pressure, moral suasion, and broad coalitions. Nzurumike cited recent diplomatic and lobbying efforts by IPOB chapters in Spain, Ireland, Russia, the United Kingdom, Italy, and elsewhere as evidence of sustained global outreach.
He invoked an Igbo ancestral creed to encourage perseverance amid challenges, blackmail, and internal distractions, urging aggrieved or disappointed Biafrans to refocus on the core objective: total freedom from what he termed "the British experiment called Nigeria."
Condemnation of Nigerian Policies and Terrorism
Nzurumike sharply criticized the Nigerian government, both the previous Buhari administration and the current Tinubu administration, for what he described as lenient policies toward terrorists, including Boko Haram and marauding Fulani herdsmen. He rejected any association of IPOB with terrorism, asserting that Biafrans are themselves victims of state-sponsored terror and are fighting for liberation through peaceful means.
"We abhor terrorism to the core," he said, while warning that Nigerian authorities view Biafran demands for freedom as a greater threat than northern insurgency.
The Deputy Head announced that IPOB leadership training would commence soon, starting in April with the West Africa flank and extending globally in parallel with Biafraland efforts. He urged principal officers to maintain discipline and respect the chain of command to preserve lives and properties.
Nzurumike also called on able-bodied Biafrans to intensify agricultural activities during the ongoing planting season, cultivating tubers, vegetables, and fruits to enhance food security and nutrition amid rising living costs. He praised the fertility of Biafran land and encouraged self-reliance in food production.
Special appreciation was extended to continental representatives, national coordinators (including Mazi Lusian in the United States), heads of departments (Welfare, Medical, Agricultural, Legal, and Mobilization), and especially those holding the ground in Biafraland.
He urged Biafrans to watch their backs, remain kind to one another, and foster unity for collective protection.
Nzurumike described the broadcast as deliberately brief and promised to address Biafrans again within two weeks to one month. He endorsed a recent broadcast by Mazi Chinasa Nworu, head of the Security Department, as representing the collective position of the leadership rather than a personal opinion.
In closing, he invoked a biblical blessing from Genesis 31:49 "May Adonai Chukwuokabiama watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another” praying for good health and strength for all Biafrans.
