“We are protesting against President Buhari’s statement that he will crush Biafra. We want to assure him that nobody can crush Biafra, not even a thousand Buharis. It will surprise him that Biafra will be actualized during his reign as Nigeria’s President. Buhari supports Western Sahara and Palestine to be granted sovereignty while he continues to suppress Biafra.”

The protest was reportedly peaceful but caused heavy gridlock as police patrol teams moved around the city while soldiers were on standby to provide security.

In the same vein, the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has equally said President Buhari and his administration cannot stop the agitation for Biafra state.

“Buhari’s statement can be described as that of a frustrated man, who has lost focus on international policy regulations and charter on self-determination. “He talks with military mentality of 1960 during Nigeria-Biafra war, not knowing that the methods and strategy of the current Biafra struggle for restoration differs from the old one.

“The world now is a global village and autocratic and tyrannical leadership doesn’t prevail in this present world. Biafra struggle is a survival and advancement which Buhari can never stop. Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and Jonathan could not stop it.”

Meanwhile, IPOB has a reacted to a statement credited to Chief Sylvester Debe Ojukwu, who is said to be the eldest son of late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on Biafra struggle, Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB leadership.
