The Indigenous People of Biafra has lambasted those behind the recent #IgboMustGo campaign in Southwest Nigeria, especially Lagos.

The organisation, in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful on August 5 said Igbo people are ready to leave Yoruba land & indeed Nigeria via a referendum.

According to the statement, “Following the provocative and genocidal “IgboMustGo” proposed protest slated to commence from August 20-30th 2024, by some faceless Yoruba groups & persons, the IPOB wish to remind the Yoruba anti-Igbo groups that Ndigbo are ready to exit Yoruba land & Nigeria via a referendum.

Ndigbo will not succumb to any threat from any group or persons to leave any state or region in Nigeria.

It is laughable that the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu was reported to have hypocritically cond£mned the proponents of the “Igbo Must Go” protest.

The Governor will not hoodwink Ndigbo with his hypocritical cond£mnation of those calling for Igbos’ expulsion from the South West Region of Nigeria.
