The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says the South East region is not captured in the 22.7 billion dollars loan approved by the Senate for President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to the executive arm, the loan which will be obtained from about six banks, is meant for infrastructural development in the country.
However, media and publicity secretary of the indigenous group, Emma Powerful, noted that the exclusion an indication that the zone is never an integral part of the country.
He disclosed this in a press statement made available to pressmen in Owerri.
According to Powerful: “In line with information reaching the IPOB family worldwide that South-East senators and governors are begging the Abba Kyari and Maman Daura-controlled government of Nigeria through their rubber-stamp National Assembly to include the South-East in their corrupt sharing of the $22.6 billion loan from China is embarrassing, tactless and indicative of their ignorance and that of those who still believe in the myth of one Nigeria.
“Following the exclusion of the zone, IPOB has, however, emphasised that the South-East has never been regarded as part of Nigeria despite the area laying the golden eggs.
“Despite years of bootlicking and willful submission to the hegemonic whims of the Fulani caliphate, these minions are yet to realise that Nigeria is not one and can never be. This latest humiliation is heightened when one considers the fact that all the resources, both human and natural, that sustains and drives economic life in Nigeria comes exclusively from Biafraland.
“It is a thing of shame that a people so blessed and endowed by God Almighty will so humiliatingly reduce their status to that of beggars instead of fighting for what is rightfully theirs.”
He added: “We, the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will continue to openly condemn such brazen act(s) of shameless humiliation by the Efulefu political class domiciled in Abuja and Lagos.”
