Purported Biafran referendum scam-IPOB

By Cyprian Ebele, Oniitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday warned that the purported secret referendum by faceless elements, who operate from Igboland and in Finland was a scam that should be ignored.

The spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, said the movement reiterated that for public records, there is nothing like BIAFRA Referendum at this moment and advised the people not to fall into the Nigeria Government’s traps.

“IPOB is the only movement leading the call for the referendum for Biafrans in Nigeria. Referendums are not conducted in the secret like the criminals are currently doing. These infiltrator criminals and their nincompoop leader called Criminal buffoon in Finland want to reduce Biafra’s struggle to an entertainment show.

“Biafrans must ignore the ignoramus with all his antics to make the people believe that he is doing something after IPOB leadership has crippled his channels of scamming Biafrans.

“Referendum, according to the United Nation, is a direct vote by the electorate on a political issue such as Biafra Self- Determination. If Biafrans are to hold a referendum, IPOB leadership will announce it publicly via radio Biafra and in all Biafrans’ social media handles. Even the Nigerian and international media agencies will announce such an epic event, also. The Biafra Referendum date and the criteria will be announced, scheduled, and organized within the framework of UN laws and African Charter.

” A referendum is an open and transparent political process that will involve the observation and supervision of the international community. It’s not an Umunna night meeting like some idiots are conducting by themselves in the name of Biafra Referendum. If the idiots visit any family in the night to vote for the referendum, Biafrans should ignore them. Biafrans should avoid giving their personal information to the criminal led criminal agents to avoid “had I known” the group stated.
