The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has commended its leader, Nnamdi Kanu for his appearance and speech at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday.
The group which held that such appearance signified respect for IPOB, called on the international community to lend support to its quest for self determination within the boundaries of international laws.
In a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB also called on the European Union to hold Nigeria to account for serial human rights abuses.
The group hailed IPOB followers across Europe, especially those that drove for two days from Norway and other countries to be part of the historic engagement.
It said that the success of the meeting in Brussels was proof that God was on the side of the struggle for Biafra.
The statement further read: “The awesome and great turn out of our Biafran brothers and sisters in Brussel is confirmation that all our people need right now is Biafra and nothing else.
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu made it clear that the struggle for Biafra freedom has shifted to the international community. We are demanding the European Union to hold Nigeria to account for serial human rights abuses and most critically to support the fundamental right of Biafra to seek self determimation within the ambit of international law.
“We remain conscious of the fact that the Nigerian government will continue with their blackmail, subterfuge and misinformation but we wish to assure them that IPOB diplomatic team has more pedigree than anything Nigeria Foreign Affairs Ministry can muster.
“Their desperate bid and effort to stop our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from meeting with EU parliamentarians has failed and will continue to fail. The more the Nigerian state fights IPOB, the stronger and more resolute we become. All their efforts failed woefully because God Almighty the creator of Heaven and Earth is on the side of the Biafran people.
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu assured every Biafran after the meeting that his next diplomatic mission will be to the UN. Our diplomatic moves is designed to take Biafra freedom to another level, way beyond the imagination of the Nigerian government, before the end of this year.”
