Coalition of pro Biafra’ groups (COPROBIG), has cancelled the proposed nationwide protest in the South East.
The Coalition is a non violent body that unites various positive Biafra agitators, activists and groups seeking to actualize and restore the right to self determination for the indigenous Biafra people through the mechanism of legal, political and diplomatic methodology.
“We are law abiding citizens of Nigeria by birth and Biafrans by indigenous identity.”
The Coalition body which comprises many pro Biafra groups which includes Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Eastern Peoples Congress (EPC), Billie Human Rights Initiative (BHRI), Biafra Liberation Council (BLC), Biafra Revolutionary Force (BRF), Biafra Revolutionary Organization (BRO), Biafra Reconciliation (BR) and Union of Biafra Scientists and Engineers (UBSE) condemned the the atrocious outburst by federal government sponsored Bayo Onanuga on the person of Mr Peter Obi.
They warned Bayo 0nanuga to shift his searchlight and advise his masters, ifederal government of Nigeria to fix her economy that is seriously nosediving into undesirable state of decay than laying blames at Peter Obi who with other well meaning Nigerian citizens, have the right to criticize the economic situation of the Nigeria nation.
“The weeklong protest is born out of economic frustrations and hunger meted on the citizens of Nigeria as a result of clueless, impunity and high corruption of Bola Ahmed Tinubu led federal government.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inflicted much hunger on citizens of Nigeria. The citizens are protesting, while blaming and accusing Mr Peter Obi and Ndigbo.
“Onanuga and his allies should know that an attempt of dent on Peter Obi is a serious provocation of spirits of our ancestors and all the progressives that occupy this surface earth
“Onanuga should be reminded of the Igbo adage that says “ONYE APKALA NWA AGU AKA N’ ODU, MA ODI NDU MA ONWURU- ANWU, when translated to English, means ” no one should touch the tiger tail, whether alive or dead.”
“Onanuga should not add salt to the Nation’s injurious state by reminding Nigerians what they lost in Peter Obi as an American adage says ” you don’t know the value of what you have until you lose it”
“We are aware of the damaging tendencies orchestrated by Onanuga and his allies on Peter Obi and hereby, state as follows.
“That to avoid the genocidal plot of the federal government that will result in massive killings of Biafrans involved in the coming nationwide protest, COPROBIG declared that there will be no sit at home in Biafra land during the weeklong national protest.
That the cancellation of any public pro Biafra activities will not give Nigeria security agencies the opportunity to kill the people of Biafra.
That the planned weeklong national protest is a subtle plot to lure the youths of Ndigbo to their early graves.
That the people of Biafra should go about their normal businesses of the day.
