Biafra: Nigerian politicians do not have what it takes to fund worldwide IPOB Family
INDIGENOUS People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied reports that
they, IPOB, are being funded by politicians.
IPOB in a statement signed by their spokesman, Emma
Powerful, pointed out that they have nothing to do with politicians and cannot
be bought with money because they are determined to restore Biafran sovereignty
and not out for financial inducement.
The statement said the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
“for quite some time now, have keenly noticed the outright lies reported
regarding the activities of IPOB. We overlooked these baseless and unverifiable
lies until we was forced to make a statement.
“To set the records straight, one of the cardinal rules in
IPOB is that we don’t mingle with politicians nor do we accept any monetary
gift or inducement from any politician. We give directives based on the
wellbeing of our people. This is one of the greatest frustrations of certain
governors who have tried everything within their powers to induce IPOB with
money, but were roundly rebuffed.
“We call upon the public to contact their aides for
confirmation of our claims. IPOB is a global mass-movement that no single
individual is capable of funding because we are in over 120 countries and
territories all over this earth. Who in their right mind in Nigerian politics
can afford what it takes to fund IPOB we ask?
“IPOB depends on monthly contributions of dedicated family
members all over the world for its sustenance. We do not have moneybags nor do
we have politicians among us with bags of money to sponsor our activities and
never will. It will constitute an insult to the memory of our fallen heroes and
departed from our principled stance should IPOB seek to accept the engagement
of politicians in our activities.
