Biafra: Call For Referendum Is A Nonsensical Demand, Waste Of Time – Presidency
The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla has said the call by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and others for referendum was a wasted effort, and without sense.
Speaking with The Sun, the Presidential aide noted that restructuring would not solve the myriad of problems confronting the nation.
He said, “The demand for a referendum with regards to Biafra is a constitutional impossibility.
“It is a legal and political impossibility. There is no provision in the constitution of the country or any other law that provides for a part of the country to break away.
“It is a nonsensical demand. Biafra ended on the January 15, 1970. I think the agitators are just expressing their rights to freedom of expression.
Noting that agitators are just expressing their freedom of speech, the presidential aide said they are just wasting their time on the call for referendum.
He said, “The international law does not take precedence over the Nigerian constitution. If you want to ratify any treaty or international convention, the National Assembly has to approve it.
“You cannot begin to use the international law to deal with municipal, local and national issues.
“Let them stop wasting their time. There is nothing like that. The agitators are just wasting their time and that is why I am saying that they are just expressing their right to the freedom of expression.”

In the long-continued darkness Nigeria had lost all knowledge of the cardinal points/directions. The Republic of Biafra appears in the East, and thus defines that cardinal point, and by it the East-southEast or South-southEast or South-east are located in the Southeast. The IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has revealed why 2019 Nigeria general election could not hold in South-east. He asked the Igbos to boycott both the November 2017 Nigeria gubernatorial election in Anambra state and the 2019 Nigeria general election should the Federal Government fail to do nothing about restoration of Biafra. Kanu also noted that there would be no vote for any Nigeria’s President, Nigeria’s Governor, Nigeria’s Senator, or Nigeria’s House of Reps member in 2019.

The fact remains that the secession of Biafra movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and IPOB were approved by referendum.

IPOB. I believe that you guys are wasting time. They have told you that Referendum is not possibly. So I will advice you guys to form a paramilitary organization similar to Haggana of Isreal. All you need is 5000-10,000 formidable young men and women under oath not to betray the course of Biafra. By the time you carryout your missions say 5-10 strategic missions. the Ohaneze and Nigerian government will be begging you for a referendum. Again similar to Haggana of Isreal, any person opposing you people such as Ohanaeze chieftains will be —————. You know what that is. The Nigerian government and so called Ibo elites are not taking you people serious, before they see you people as not capable of harming a fly. So restrategize and do the following:
1. You have up to 100,000-200,000 members.
2. Trannsform these members into a crack paramilitary group say 5000-10000 strong.
3. Recruit these members from from all Nigeian language groups. There are several IPOB members that speak Hausa, Yoruba, Kanuri etc.
4. Mmebership of the paramilitary group will be under blood oath, not to betray the group or other members. Why. Because the Nigerian governmernt will dangle 100,000 to 500,000 Niara before them, and they might sell you out, and then a dangerous mission is compromised.
5. If you guys with your paramilitary group strike precisely and surgically, not all these road marches and banner carrying campaigns, then you have your Biafra.
6. Consult all IPOB members that have served in the US Paramilitary, Russian and British paramilitary for advise and training.
7. Your training should concentrate on Urban warfare, and blending in with the society. Then you have your Biafra.
8. Train your members on the act of bomb making. Letter bombs etc. You will have your Biafra, as they will be begging you to go.
