IPOB Sponsorship: France Reacts To Nigerian Govt’s Allegation

Emmanuel Macron, President of France

France has dismissed claims by the Federal Government that it is sponsoring the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed had told reporters that the funding of the pro-Biafra group was from France.

“Let me tell you, the financial headquarters is in France, we know…You have to block the sources of finance.” the minister said.

Well, the French embassy in Nigeria has however denied the allegation, stating that it has no knowledge of IPOB activities in France.

In a statement by its Political Counsellor, Claude Abily, the embassy said the government never got in touch with it on such issue.

The statement said, “The Embassy of France was surprised by the statement made yesterday by the Minister of Information and Culture indicating that the “financial headquarters” of IPOB were in France.

“We don’t have any knowledge of a particular presence of IPOB in France and the Nigerian authorities never got in touch with the Embassy on this point.

“We stand ready to examine any information which could support this statement.

“Furthermore, we would like to reiterate that France actively cooperates with Nigeria in the field of security and that we strongly support the unity of the country.”

    I think its important i share this,I’m not here to place advert for Twinkas. i’m one of the participants of
    twinkas and i had different accounts with them.i was suprised when the platform suddenly stopped paying me and
    others,i thought the platform crashed just like the others but then i decided to contact one of the admins on
    09037881896, all i was asked to do was upgrade my account to veteran which i did and within 24 hours i was
    merged with 3 persons that paid me 300% bonus.ever since then till now,i have been receiving payment.
    Twinkas is still the best, and its working fine.
    For those of you having any issue as regards to your account thinking its no longer paying,you can call the
    admin Mr. kelvin on 09037881896 for assistance,upgrading,rebranding and any complain at all. God bless us all
