BEVERLY HILLS, March 09, (THEWILL) – The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday accused Britain of working in concert with the Nigerian government to suppress the quest for the actualization of the Biafra as a sovereign state.
It pointed out that it was hypocritical for the British government to plot against Biafra when it allowed its citizens vote on whether the country should remain a part of the European Union.
In a statement issued by its spokespersons, Emma Mezu and Clifford Iroanya, IPOB noted that it was the same Britain that allowed Scotland conduct a referendum on whether or not to remain in the United Kingdom.
The separatist group went on to declare that the “restoration of Biafra” is unstoppable and as such, the British government is wasting its time.
The statement reads, “It is hypocritical of the British government to support Nigerian government in violently suppressing the quest for Biafra self-determination when the same British government opted out of European Union. This same British government allowed Scotland to conduct referendum without using B52 bombers to bomb the Scottish people.
“Why is it that the British government is so livid when it comes to the right of self-determination of the Biafran people? The most laughable aspect of British government‘s objection to Biafra exit from Nigeria is the lame excuse of believing in the territorial integrity of pre-independence Nigeria.
“But Nigeria’s territorial integrity is not the same from independence till date because the world is aware that a section of Nigeria called Bakassi had been ceded to the Cameroons, even though the Nigerian Constitution was not adjusted to exclude that ceded section.
“Also, the British government tried everything to resist the phasing-out of colonialism, but its resistance came to naught because colonialism was defeated even though the British played a trick on the world by giving the impression that Nigeria is no longer colonized whereas, in practice, Nigeria is still controlled and pillaged by the British government.
“The latest gimmick of hiding behind Nigerian officials will not do any good to the British government because Biafrans can read in-between the lines to decipher when the British government is speaking through these Nigerian government officials.
“We will like to advise the Nigerian government officials being used by Britain that they are wasting their time because the restoration of the nation of Biafra is unstoppable and irreversible.
“One incontrovertible fact the British government and their Nigerian collaborators must bear in mind is that the civilized world had determined that self-determination is an inalienable right and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Biafra is a must, whether the purveyors of iniquity in the name of keeping Nigeria one, like it or not.”
