The Nation Newspaper IPOB warns Ohanaeze Ndigbo over call for restructuring
The group was reacting to a statement credited to one Abuja-based Ohaneze Ndigbo chieftain, Barrister Augustine Amaechi claiming that Ohaneze Ndigbo wants restructuring not a referendum.
In a statement yesterday, the pro-separatist group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said no group should truncate the demand for a referendum as that would be a sure way to solve Nigeria’s major problems. “IPOB members and supporters worldwide represent over 90% of Biafrans. We have made it clear to the Nigeria government and the international community that Biafrans want a referendum to democratically decide to either remain in Nigeria or exit Nigeria. This is our only demand.“We are not going back on our demand for a UN supervised referendum in Nigeria for the determination of Biafra Independence.
