Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), weekend disclosed that it warmly welcomed the recent designation of Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern by the government of the United States. 

This development comes on the heels of the Canadian court’s designation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as terror-enabling organisations.

Making this disclosure to newsmen, the IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said that, “The noble IPOB family extends profound gratitude to President Donald J. Trump, Senator Ted Cruz, and to all patriotic Biafrans and friends of Biafra in the United States who have relentlessly championed this noble cause. 

“Their courageous advocacy has brought global attention to the evil of religious persecution, state-sponsored violence, and sectarian killings that have long plagued Nigeria, particularly targeting the Christian and Igbo populations.

“This recognition is not merely symbolic; it represents a moral victory for justice, truth, and the sanctity of human life. By calling out the Nigerian state’s complicity in ethnic and religious violence, the international community has helped save countless lives that would otherwise have been lost to orchestrated insecurity and genocidal attacks.

“However, IPOB insists that the work of the U.S. government and the broader international community is far from complete. There remains an urgent need for an independent international inquiry into the root causes of persistent ethno-religious killings and insecurity in Igboland. 

“Such an inquiry is essential to unmask the perpetrators, financiers, and political enablers behind these heinous acts, and to ensure that justice is done in accordance with international human rights law.

“We salute the unyielding courage and  resilience of all Biafrans worldwide, especially the exceptional advocacy of American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID), Ambassadors for Self-determination, along with other advocates of liberty around the world who have continued to speak against tyranny, impunity, and the ongoing genocide against our people and Northern Nigeria Christian communities. 

“History will remember your courage. Relief shall at last come to the people of the long suffering people of the Middle Belt region as a result of this designation.

“Once again, we commend all members of this great IPOB family for their unwavering determination in pursuit of freedom rooted in liberty for all. All of you played a part in this significant diplomatic milestone.

” Together, we have taken another step towards truth, justice, and the restoration of the dignity of all peoples trapped in this  Lugardian contraption called Nigeria,” IPOB stated.
