Jubilation In Igboland As Talks With UN For Biafra Referendum Enters Final Stage –IPOB
The claim was contained in a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
Powerful said IPOB was making efforts for the referendum any moment soon.
Promising that the exercise would be peaceful, the group said everybody resident within Biafra territory would vote according to their conscience.
He said, “It is quite clear and understandable to every citizen of Biafra and indeed the entire world that we need a referendum, where the people will exercise their right on whether or not they want self-rule or continued existence within Nigeria.
Mr. Powerful revealed that “a United Nation supervised referendum is a must and a right for every human being in Nigeria to unequivocally state where they wish to belong”.
“We in IPOB and Biafrans, in general, expect the United Nations to supervise this referendum, which will enable even those living beyond the boundaries of Biafra to equally determine their own fate. We want freedom for all, not just for Biafrans alone.”
