Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has said that the agitations for the independence of the Oduduwa and Biafra republics will soon come to fruition.
He stated this in a tweet on Wednesday, while speaking on the 1914 amalgamation.
According to the IPOB leader, Britain’s failure to offer Southern and Northern Nigeria the option of partition is a violation of a declaration which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 14 December 1960.
Kanu wrote; “Britain’s failure to offer Southern and Northern Nigeria the option of partition like it did with India & Pakistan violated the ‘United Nations Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries’. It’s time to right this violation. Oduduwa and Biafra coming soon.”
Meanwhile, Yoruba freedom fighter, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho, had earlier warned that any attack by the Nigerian Army on the South-East would be repelled.
In a statement released by his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, the Yoruba activist said, “We would like to inform the Federal Government Of Nigeria that any attack on the South-East is an attack on the Yorubas.
“Biafra people have been targeted by the Nigeria Army and if there are any further attacks on them, we would have no other option but to support our brothers and sisters in Biafraland.”
