Secessionist group, the Ingenious People of Biafra (IPOB), on Monday, said that it will achieve Biafra through civil disobedience and without violence.
The group made this known in a statement released by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful. The statement noted that the American civil right activist achieved their aim without violence.
The statement reads, “IPOB can categorically and experientially conclude that Biafra can be achieved by civil disobedience and direct action contrary to statements made by some saboteurs and Hausa-Fulani slaves from Igbo-speaking area.
“That Barack Obama is the president of the USA today is directly attributable to the civil disobedience of the days of Malcom-X and Martin Luther King Jr. For 27 years, the blacks in South Africa never stopped carrying out civil disobedience until Nelson Mandela was released from prison.
“The Arab Spring started with civil disobedience and the outcome is there for all to see. It is therefore preposterous and smacks of political illiteracy for some compromised people to make mockery of the well-organized and peaceful civil disobedience by IPOB that has the twin objectives of pressurizing government to release their illegally detained leader and for the restoration of the nation of Biafra.”
