Over the slated visit of PMB to the coal city, the IPOB members has issued a note of warning and has made it categorically clear that his visit will trigger serious unrest and beckoned on Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to convince the President to cancel his visit.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in a statement entitled, ‘Muhammadu Buhari must stay clear of Biafra land or have himself to blame for the outcome of any such visit,
The pro-Biafran group alleged that Buhari was a ‘killer and persecutor’ of Igbo and should not be allowed to visit the geopolitical zone.
The statement read in part, “The Indigenous People of Biafra have received information that Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) will be visiting Enugu on the 22nd of December, 2016. We object totally to this visit.
“We warn that any governor or Igbo politician that receives Buhari in Enugu will have himself or herself to blame. We make it public that should there be a breakdown of law and order in Enugu on the 22nd of December, greedy Igbo politicians will have themselves to blame.
“Any Igbo governor or politician that is found among those hobnobbing with Buhari becomes an enemy of the people and shall pay dearly for it.”
IPOB also demanded an investigation into the Amnesty International report, which accused the army of mass killing of Biafra activists.
The group urged all pro-Biafra activists to be in Enugu on December 22 to show their anger over Buhari’s visit.
“We are calling on all Biafrans to descend on Enugu on the said date of December 22, 2016 to show our anger and displeasure at this attempt by some greedy Igbo men to insult the memory of our glorious dead and those still in detention with our leader.
