The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), has said that time has come for Biafran actualisation because the prophecy by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, about oil discovery in the Northern region has come to pass.
According to the Biafran group, the Nigerian government should allow the sovereignty of the Biafran nation, having discovered crude oil in the North.
IPOB made this statement while reacting to the discovery of oil along the fields of Gombe and Bauchi states, which was inaugurated during the week by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB claimed that revenue from the oil field would be used to propagate jihadist agenda.
“We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi KANU confirm the answer to the prayers of our leader concerning oil discovery in the North.
In one of his landmark broadcasts on Radio Biafra, he prayed for God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama to give crude oil to the Northern Region of Nigeria.
“Northern Nigeria has large deposits of many solid minerals that are more lucrative than crude oil. But because they thirst for oil, and because of their greedy nature to conquer others, they are ready to do unimaginable things because of oil in Biafraland. In his infinite wisdom, God Almighty Eze Chukwu Okike has settled the fraudulent contraption’s age-long problem of unity occasioned by crude oil.
“Crude oil discovery in the North will certainly settle this forced unity if indeed, they are truthful in settling Nigeria’s problem. Oil or no oil, Biafrans are not interested. All we need is a conducive environment to do our business without fear of terrorists at our borders.
“Now that every component part of Nigeria has oil, can we all go our separate ways and mind our own businesses?” the statement read. (SaharaReporters)
