The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned that, “heaven will
fall” should President Muhammadu Buhari order soldiers to interrupt its
Friday’s rally in solidarity of the United States, President-elect,
Donald Trump, Daily Post reports.
The statement reads, “The indigenous people of Biafra IPOB worldwide and
its leadership are calling on all IPOB family members and Biafrans from
all over West Africa, Nigeria and Biafraland to be at Rivers State for
the long awaited peaceful IPOB-TRUMP SOLIDARITY RALLY on Friday 20th
January 2017. Venue is Port-Harcourt River State.
“We are going to ask Sovereign Lord God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama,
for Trump’s successful take over on that day and for the release of our
leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and others detained illegally on the orders of
President Muhammadu Buhari in all the DSS secret cells and prisons
across Nigeria.
“This IPOB peaceful rally on 20th January 2017 will be for Biafrans,
friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom all over the world to understand
how resolute and committed we are towards the emancipation, realisation
and proclamation of our God given right to live as free men and women
in our ancestral land of Biafra. We Biafrans abhor slavery and
subjugation of human beings in whatever form or guise.
“Therefore, the deadly march of Islamisation through Biafraland,
using the cover of Fulani herdsmen, with presidential immunity from
prosecution and license to kill unarmed Christian populations at will,
MUST be stopped by every means necessary.
“This IPOB peaceful rally for Trump in Igweocha on Friday the 20th of
January 2017 will feature the pictures of our able leader and prophet
of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the pictures of those detained illegally
alongside him and those of President Donald Trump.
“As usual we shall maintain strict discipline of nonviolence and
non-engagement with enemy combatants the Nigerian Army and Police.
However we must reiterate that should President Buhari ordered his
soldiers to fire at IPOB peaceful protesters, heaven will fall.
“The non-violent position of our great movement will be revoked with
immediate effect. Our only interest is to exercise our right to peaceful
protest and lawful assembly as recognised in law.
“Should any trigger happy army or police personnel fire at our
members, the world should hold Buhari responsible for any outcome. Gov.
Nyesom Wike is also hereby reminded of his responsibility to protect the
lives of those on peaceful rally.
“He should not allow himself to be used by Northern elements within
the security apparatus in Igweocha to kill our people. We have not
forgiven him for his past actions, so he must be careful not to allow a
breakdown of law and order on the 20th as a result of any provocative
behaviour by the Hausa Fulani Islamic Nigerian Army.
“Peaceful rallies and marches are recognised in law all over the
world so we can’t stop exercising this right now because of intimidation
and brutality.
“Every IPOB local media team are advised to be at Igweocha to provide
live video and audio feed for live simulcasting on Biafra Television,
Radio Biafra and Facebook. We want to capture every moment of the rally
because the whole world will be watching.
“In anticipation of mobile network disruptions as they did during the
last two court appearance in Abuja, head of media will provide free
satellite wi-fi feed for all those intent of broadcasting live. We must
be prepared with all our gadgets and recording equipments.
“IPOB appreciates the wise counsel and support of our friends from
all over the world. Freedom is not negotiable because right to
self-determination is inalienable.”
