eritvnews: Biafran Referendum Is the Only Way the People Can Speak For Themselves

The Indigenous People of Biafra have pointed out that Biafran Referendum is on simple way of allowing the people to speak for themselves.  Emma Powerful maintained that the reason why IPOB insists on a referendum is because the voice of the people must be heard through the outcome of Biafran referendum.

He said this while reacting to the questions by the Nigerian media. He had responded to the question of Why IPOB have insisted that the Ohanaeze should support your referendum agenda.

In his words:
Referendum is the will of the people. No right-thinking, intelligent being would subscribe to the ludicrous notion of one Nigeria unless that person is a thief, suffering from identity crisis or lacking in self-confidence that can only hide by belonging to a wider Nigeria. If Ohanaeze Ndigbo is in doubt as to what our people truly desire, they should conduct a plebiscite.

Restructuring is not a panacea for the ills bedeviling Nigeria. The only solution is outright dissolution. Restructuring is a product of a flawed intellectual argument devoid of common sense and rational thinking. You cannot fuse together divergent, competing and often irreconcilable value systems into one monolithic geopolitical space. He said.

On the whereabouts of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, The Nigerian media wanted to know what IPOB was doing to produce Nnamdi Kanu in court so that Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe and others won’t lose their N300m bail bond.

And Emma Powerful clearly explained that:
There is a video footage shot during the army invasion which the GOC, 82 Division Enugu admitted to have also watched via live army feed to the headquarters. In the video clips, it was ascertained that our leader was in his bedroom during the invasion.

Who, in the opinion of any right-thinking person, should produce Nnamdi Kanu? Are they those that carried out the invasion with the intention to kill or the 28 dead IPOB members slain at the scene?
The idea of asking IPOB to produce him is implying that IPOB family members dressed up in army uniform and stormed Kanu’s residence, killing 28 people in the process. Any keen observer of the proceedings at Binta Nyako’s court will tell you that the nonsense being reported about the sureties going to jail or forfeiting their bond is patently false. Justice Binta Nyako never made such pronouncements as reported in certain sections of the media.

The fact of the matter remains that the sureties have never had an opportunity in court to present their case before now because the prosecution has been following the wrong legal process. Eyinnaya Abaribe’s lawyer corrected this anomaly during the last sitting which the court agreed with. The court compelled the AGF to follow the right process of service which they are now doing. How can a surety go to jail or forfeit his bond when a court hasn’t ruled on it yet? This media trial must stop. At the end of this whole legal process, the world will understand precisely what happened at Nnamdi Kanu’s home because Buratai and his men will be cross-examined in a court of law under oath. One outcome is certain at the end of this case — the army will produce our leader.
