IPOB In Diaspora To Hold Rally, Mark Biafra Day On May 30

In adherence to the directive by the Nnamdi Kalu, the Supreme Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the leadership of the group in Australia has announced that its members will hold a rally across Australia on May 30th in honour of Biafra’s fallen heroes.

The Director of Membership and Mobilization of IPOB in Australia, Mr. Kennedy Ochi in a statement made available to the Nation on Monday, disclosed that the rally which is scheduled to happen in Victoria was in commemoration of the remembrance of Biafra’s fallen heroes.

According to Ochi, IPOB in Australia will on May 29 hold a candle night and peaceful demonstration at Federation Square, Melborne, Australia.

He said the event will run currently in other European countries.

Ochi who backed the May 31st sit-at-home call by the leadership of group in Nigeria stated that the rally is to further draw the attention of the global community to the plight and marginalization of the people of old eastern region in the hands of the Nigerian government, adding that they; IPOB and pro-Biafran agitators, would continue to use every legislative means within its reach to continue to push for a sovereign State of Biafra.

The IPOB Director of Membership and Mobilization who stated that IPOB was committed in the struggle towards the emancipation of its people said “nothing will stop the agitation since the current regime of President Muhammadu Buhari has finally relegated the Igbos to the back bench in a country they are first hand citizens.

“It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that our opinion don’t matter no more in the current affairs of the nation but still, Biafrans are not allowed to go.

“We remain committed in this struggle. IPOB is bidirectional, well-organized, systematic and hierarchical structure with the sole aim of accomplishing our mission.”
