Boycott June 12 activities – IPOB tells Igbos, says Ohanaeze has no factions

Published

on

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has urged Igbos to boycott all June 12 activities.

June 12 is the date the Nigerian Government designated as Democracy Day.

IPOB said Igbos should boycott June 12 activities until the Nigerian Government learns to honour May 30th, the Biafra remembrance day.

Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB made the declaration while insisting that Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-political body of the Igbos, is not factionalized.

In a statement he signed, Powerful distanced the Igbo nation and Biafra freedom movement from statements made by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, stressing that he does not represent Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

Powerful said Isiguzoro is unknown to the Igbo race as representing any recognised wing or faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

According to Powerful: “Ohanaeze is not factionalised. The notion of a “factional” Ohanaeze exists only in the minds of hungry political errand boys doing the bidding of their Abuja slave masters. These inconsequential elements neither represent the Igbo people nor speak for Ndigbo.

“It is appalling that these buffoons masquerading as leaders of a non-existent faction continue their coordinated efforts to give the impression that the Igbo race is disoriented or lacks cohesion. This is a calculated insult to our heritage and identity.

“They are also woefully ignorant of Igbo history. The recent claim that Igboland exists in only seven states of Nigeria is an outrageous falsehood. Igbo-speaking people are indigenous to 13 states of this British-created contraption called Nigeria. Any attempt to shrink our ancestral footprint is an unforgivable betrayal.

“Let it be known that Ohanaeze Ndigbo is currently led by Senator Emmanuel Mbatta, and that remains the only recognised and respected leadership of the apex Igbo socio-cultural body. Any individual parading himself as a “factional” leader is not only insulting the Igbo nation, but also daring IPOB with such impunity.

“IPOB is a proud promoter of free speech, but let everyone make their comments in their personal capacity or through their own platforms. Dragging the name of Ohanaeze into every sponsored narrative is cowardly, fraudulent, and unacceptable.

“We also wish to clarify, once again, that Ohanaeze Ndigbo—whether we agree with them or not—remains the apex body of Ndigbo. IPOB reserves the right to criticise Ohanaeze when they err, but we do not presume to represent them, nor should any other impostor.

“Finally, we call on all Biafrans to ignore any call for participation in June 12-related events. Until Nigeria learns to respect and honour May 30th—our sacred Biafran Remembrance Day—we shall not partake in their selective history or skewed national rituals.

“This is not just about IPOB. This is about our dignity, our truth, and our right to define who we are.”
