IPOB warns Buhari, Stay away from the South East to avoid bloodshed

Chidi Samuel || The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), the proscribed separatist movement fighting for the actualisation of an Independent State of Biafra has warned President Muhammadu Buhari to stay away from his proposed two-day visit to the South East to avoid the expected blood birth that will likely result from the visit.

IPOB’s position was contained in a statement by its spokesman Emma Powerful on Monday.

The statement read, “We (IPOB members) will die with him should he set his foot on the sacred land of Biafra”.

“Tuesday 14th November 2017 will be recorded in history as a very bloody day should that Jubril masquerading as Buhari attempt to land on Biafran soil,” the statement read.

“He is coming to mock us and to urinate on the graves of our 91 brethren his Operation Python Dance killed in Abia State. He is coming to show us that power belongs to the north and people like Nnia Nwodo and Dave Umahi are in charge over their conquered territory and defeated people of Biafra. He has come to tell us we are forever slaves.”

President Buhari is expected to commence a two-day official visit to Anambra and Ebonyi States, the first to the region since he became President two years ago.
