In a statement by Ikemba Biafra, a splinter new group which parades
itself as the Reformed Indigenous People of Biafra (Re-IPOB), has
disclosed that it has sacked the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) led
by the detained Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and the new
faction, The Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra (TRIPOB).
The group who promised to disclose their leader on Monday, 29th
August, 2016, advised all pro-Biafran agitators to remain peaceful and
warned security agents to stop molesting Biafran activists.
“Both IPOB and TRIPOB have been sacked; they should no longer
speak for the Biafran people. They are the same outfit and have nothing
to offer Biafra.
"We warn that if Nnamdi Kanu , IPOB and the so-called TRIPOB
continue their antics , RE-IPOB will be forced to make public the
sponsors of the two groups. RE-IPOB will not accede to the burning of
the Biafran flag as the sacked TRIPOB planned. The Biafran flag is
sacred to Biafrans.”
The statement, however, added that RE-IPOB is open to dialogue if
the Nigerian government is sincere in ending the protracted agitations
for an independent state of Biafra, and warned that the group will not
tolerate any insincerity from the government.
“If the federal government is sincere in its dialogue with
RE-IPOB, then the Biafran flag can be exchanged with the Nigerian flag
in the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Security
Adviser, Director of State Security and the Elders of Biafra. If the
dialogue is fruitful; then a peace treaty and a ‘no victor no vanquished
tree’ will be planted at Gakem where the first shot of the Nigerian
Civil war started and at Amichi Nnewi where the formal cessation of
hostilities of the war began.”
