Declaration: Why every youth in Igboland will soon join Avengers – IPOB

The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has warned
that it will order youths in the south east region to join
the Niger Delta Avengers if the government carries out
any attack against them.

Vanguard reports that IPOB reiterated its allegiance to
the militants who have been carrying out series of
bombing of oil and gas pipeline in the Niger Delta
region.

“We want to place it on record that IPOB under the
leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has no connection with
those groups who are criticizing the avengers that are
calling for the release of Kanu, the detained IPOB leader”

In a statement signed by Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford
Iroanya, who are IPOB spokespersons, the group said
the Avengers have been calling for the release of
Nnamdi Kanu and so they would not hesitate to give
their own support.

The statement read: “For the avoidance of doubt, the
Avengers are fighting for the freedom of the people of
Biafra and not for amnesty payment or for resource
control as some commentators would like to believe.
When Biafra is finally liberated from the bondage called
Nigeria, resources shall be controlled by the owners of
the land where those resources are located. The
perennially incompetent Nigerian Government should stop
deceiving the entire world into believing that what the
freedom fighters of Avengers are demanding is resource
control”.

“Amnesty is associated with criminality and a people who
are fighting for their freedom should not be unjustly
termed criminals. The notion and talk of amnesty for our
own freedom fighters (the Avengers or NDA) is a
misnomer and should be taken out of any discourse. On
the contrary, amnesty should be granted to the Nigerian
Government especially to those from the criminal class
masquerading as elites who unjustly appropriated oil and
gas wells and other resources in Biafra land to
themselves and their cohorts to the detriment of the
masses. These robbers should be associated with
amnesty for their economic criminality not the Avengers.

“Ironically, the statement further added: “most of the
leaders of the compromised groups are speaking against
the great work that the NDA are doing. These shameless
scavenging Hausa-Fulani sponsored slaves in Biafraland
have placed the needs of their stomach and their families
above the overall national interest of the liberation of their
people who are under the enslavement of the Nigerian
Government in concert with the British Government who
have never supported the liberation of any christian
country in the world.

“We reiterate that IPOB is totally and absolutely in support
of the NDA as they march towards the unconditional
liberation of our people from the evil grip of Nigerian
Government. We plead with the Avengers not to be
discouraged by the comments and antics of these so-
called leaders of these compromised groups and some
other charlatans who parade themselves as freedom
fighters.

“The Avengers should know that the only ally they have
now is IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB
is warning the extremist Nigerian Government of Buhari
that should they invade any part of Biafraland, as
intelligence report indicate they are planning to, then
IPOB will order every youth in Biafraland to join the
Avengers to defend Biafra land.
