NINAS is an umbrella body of self-determination movements in the South-South, South-East, Middle Belt and South-West (Ilana Omo Oodua).
Agitation groups in the country under the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination have said they will hold a one million march to the United Nations Headquarters in New York, to reiterate the demand for a referendum on self-determination and abolition of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
This was disclosed by NINAS leaders and members of the group who signed the Constitutional Force Majure declared on December 16, 2020, rejecting the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria and calling for a UN supervised referendum. According to the statement, the group seeks to dismantle the purported “fraudulent 1999 Constitution,” end the “unworkable” unitary union that the constitution has foisted on the people and champion the processes for self-determination by which sovereignty would be restored to the constituent regions.
It was stated that during the freedom march, a demand would be made to the United Nations to send a peacekeeping force to Nigeria to save embattled indigenes who are daily massacred by criminal elements among Fulani herdsmen and other terrorists, including Boko Haram and the Islamic State.
