The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday insisted that Biafra territories cover Edo, Kogi, Cross River and Bayelsa states. IPOB made the remark while faulting the Pan Niger Delta Forum, PANDEF, and an Igala group for condemning the inclusion of the Niger Delta and Kogi State in the Biafra territories.
had warned the proponents of the Biafra Republic against including communities in the Niger Delta or South-South geopolitical zone in their secessionist plans. Also, the Eastern Senatorial District of Kogi State, which spoke through a group under the auspices of Igala Youth Council, condemned the inclusion of the state in the secessionist agenda. The group noted that the viral video of IPOB outlining their plans for a 40-state Biafra n nation was not only laughable but a joke taken too far.
, disassociating themselves from Biafra is not only pathetic but laughable. 'For the thousandth time, we wish to make it abundantly clear that ancient Igboland spans 13 states of Nigeria. 'These are not areas occupied by Igbo speaking people but are ancient Igbo land with Igbo people in them.
that claim they don't want anything to do with Biafra, must also know and accept that Igboland in these territories Gowon and the British ceded to the North, Mid-West and the so-called South South will eternally be Igboland and no jupiter will change this irrefutable fact. When the Nigerian state balkanised ancient Igboland by carving these territories into their newly created 'non-Igbo' states, nobody complained because IPOB had not come by then.
and our brothers in Igala land should wait for an opportunity to express their preference in a referendum before deciding where they wish to belong or not. 'We must also be guided by the fact that the wonderful people of Obosi in Anambra State have within them those who are descended from the land of Igala in present day Kogi State. If in doubt ask the Attah of Obosi.
