PRESS STATEMENT 09/22/2017
We
the indigenous Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide under the command
and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to commend the caucus of South Eastern
Senators and leadership of the Nigerian Senate for standing firm in condemning
the prescribing of the peaceful IPOB by the Nigerian government and her
judiciary. Your determination in standing up for the sanctity of the rule of
law condemnation of the tagging of IPOB as a terrorist organisation have
reinforced our belief in the supremacy of the irreducible principles of
separation of powers. If not for South East Senators and the outspoken Senate
President, the mass executions of innocent IPOB family members would have
commenced under the cover of Operation Python Dance II.
Having
demonstrated this rare courage in the face of overwhelming tyranny and
oppression, we IPOB would gladly welcome any fact finding mission the apex law
makers may consider necessary under the circumstance. We would also co-operate
with any public commission of inquiry or panel set up by the Senate to
ascertain what truly happened before, during and in the aftermath of Operation
Python Dance II.
Without
prejudicing the outcome of any this or any other Senate inquiry, we see this as
a welcome opportunity to demonstrate to all and sundry that IPOB was never, can
never and will never bear arms against anybody or state. This is a golden
opportunity for Nigerian lawmakers to ascertain the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
That
South East lawmakers refused to be cowed into submission to tag IPOB under the
leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a terrorist and unlawful organisation should
be applauded by all lovers of freedom around the world. It represents the
triumph of freedom of speech and association over tyranny, brute force and
dictatorial tendencies.
We
strongly urge the National Assembly to investigate the activities of IPOB
thoroughly because we have nothing to fear. They should also look into the
recent killings of unarmed civilian populations in Afaraukwu Umuahia and Aba in
the ongoing military occupation of Biafraland.
We
are also calling on United Nation UN, European Union EU, African Union AU,
ECOWAS, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, USA, Israel, Russia,
Britain, Germany, France, and other relevant human rights to probe IPOB and
thoroughly investigate the ongoing killings of unarmed and innocent civilians
and the military siege of Afaraukwu Ibeku in Umuahia Abia State by the Nigerian
Government and her security operatives especially the Army and Police.
COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND
PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.
