The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has denied claims of printing Biafran currency and other State paraphernalia as widely speculated in some sections of the media.
Spokesperson of the group Emma Powerful, who has also distanced the group from another pro-Biafra group, “the Auto Pilot”, alleged to be behind the speculation said it has no plan of forming any Biafra “Kangaroo Government in Exile”.
He explained that IPOB as an organised group would not embark on such an agenda without liaising with the people of the southeast.
According to Powerful, “IPOB is not part of the formation of the “Kangaroo” Biafra government in Exile anywhere. Also, there are no factions whatsoever in IPOB, and we do not have any links with autopilot groups.
“Those piloting government in exile in the USA are not IPOB members, and they don’t mean well for Biafra freedom and restoration. They are politicians and not non-violent freedom fighting movement like IPOB.”
Powerful further explained that “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemned and expelled traitors who tried to form the Biafra government in exile when he was in prison in Kuje in 2017. Fast-forward to 2022, when Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is again in detention, a few traitors formed a Kangaroo Biafra government in exile in the USA. IPOB has gone beyond the Biafra government in exile.
“Those operating the Kangaroo radio in the USA should stop linking their activities to IPOB because they are neither representing IPOB nor Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in this Biafra movement.
