Biafra: IPOB Is Legalized, You Have No Power To Proscribe It, Your Declarations Has No Effect On Us — Biafra Writers Tells S-East Govs, Army

The misinformed and illegal proscription of the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, by the Southeast governors on Friday in Enugu after their meeting with heads of Nigerian military of the 82 Division, has further rendered credence to the insinuation that these governors were all along complicit in the barbaric and gruesome murder of innocent and unarmed Biafra agitators in their domain.

These are the same governors who came out recently to debunk news that they advised the federal government of Nigeria to stop the killings of IPOB civilians in their states. Their evil connivance with the Nigerian government and its military to massacred their people in cold blood indicates that they are not ready to give up their political powers and selfish aggrandizement in the Nigerian geopolitical space.

These selfish governors who work in tandem with the dictates of the Northern Hausa/Fulani canals have demonstrated that they are not ready to serve the interest of their people but that of the cabals who have held the Nigerian society hostage from making any meaningful progress.

It is a huge shame and slap on the faces of discerning voices of reason that these governors having studied the modus operandi of IPOB as a non-violent peaceful movement cum agitators of self-determination, will go ahead to join hands with the murderous Nigerian security agencies to proscribe a nation and a people.

Their ability to reason and understand what IPOB stands for having been beclouded by their selfish interests, sentiments, envy, and jealousy has further deepened the gap between them and the people they pretend to be serving.

Is it not absurd and a huge anomaly that these hopeless governors who refused to speak up in condemnation to the wanton killings of their people in their states will now rise to condemn them whereas those behind the evil and ugly script they are playing refused to condemn and/or proscribe the Islamic fundamentalist sect, the Boko Haram terrorists, until the international community waded in. In fact, one of them who is currently the President of Nigeria was quoted as saying that any attack against the insurgents(whom he referred as his brothers) is an attack against the people of the North, yet these governors failed to realize the jibe played at them by the North.

It has been clearly defined that the governors' self-serving interest is to delineate themselves as power mongers, looters of the people's treasury, moles, hand tools and puppets of the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy who are hellbent on annihilating the Biafran people and its overwhelming ideology which is impossible anyway.

It is stunning that these so-called governors who are hellbent in serving their masters in the North, overstretched their limits into proscribing and banning IPOB activities in their respective states even when they have no such powers guaranteed under the constitution. The Nigerian Army, on the other hand, has no powers in the provision of the constitution to proscribe any group of people or society.

However, Nigeria being a state of lawlessness and theater of the absurd, its government will deploy military troops to the Southeast without the approval of the National Assembly, the same assembly it has mandated agitators to take their grievances to for redress. Likewise, the action of the Nigerian Army, declaring IPOB as a terrorist organization without due consultation with the law courts who had previously held that IPOB is legal.

It, therefore, amounts to sheer hypocrisy and crass ignorance that the determinant of a terrorist organization by the Nigerian Army is by pelting of stones and engaging in other forms of social civil disobedience and misdemeanors that portends no form of danger to the society or the general public.

While the Fulani herdsmen militia that has ravaged our lands and killed many innocent civilians in the most barbaric manner, are yet to be proscribed, the Nigerian Army and the Southeast governors have refused to give us a well-detailed description of the supposed mayhem or killings of innocent lives perpetrated by IPOB before declaring the group illegal or proscribed.

IPOB as indigenous people and a nation simply agitating in a most globally approved and recognized process has received international commendation as the most peaceful movement. But unfortunately, they have been unprovokingly mowed down and mapped out for destruction by the murderous Nigerian security agencies and their Gestapo secret security services.

The same right that empowers the Catalans, and the people of Western Sahara and the Palestinians of which President Muhammadu Buhari has advocated for their rights to separation and nationhood, is the same rights Biafrans has hinged upon to demand for their rights to independence.

The aimless and needless killings of IPOB civilians agitating for Biafra referendum cannot suppress the ideology they have nurtured for so long, rather, it will aggravate the situation and give them more reasons to continue the agitation. IPOB, therefore, remains legalized and unwavering as the court has pronounced. The declaration of the Governors and army has no effect on IPOB.

Southeast governors should be made to know that disowning their own people instead of welcoming them, will later come to backfire on them in the future. Posterity won't even have mercy on them when the time for retribution began knocking on their doors. They won't be any route or detour for their salvation.
