Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is scheduled to hold a one million march in Washington DC, US on June 20.
A statement by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Friday said the march is aimed at protesting against “religious persecution, enslavement and oppression of Biafrans in various parts of Nigeria.”
He also said the march would target the liberation of victims of neo-colonial subjugation in Nigeria.
According to him, US authorities have granted permission for the march.
“We the global and indomitable family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to humbly notify Biafrans, friends of Biafra, persecuted Judeo-Christian communities in Nigeria, victims of Fulani terrorism and state-sponsored genocide, including all who are reeling from brutal Fulanisation and genocidal land grabbing tendencies of the vandals from the Sahel aided by the regime in Aso Rock- about the upcoming IPOB One Million Man Match scheduled to hold in Washington DC on 20th of June 2020,” the statement began.
“Our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his entourage will lead this march of Biafrans, the forcefully dispossessed, all victims of Fulani religious persecution, the enslaved and oppressed minorities in Northern Nigeria, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom all over the world on the match towards the liberation of victims of neo-colonial subjugation in Nigeria on that fateful day near Capitol Hill Washington USA.”
The statement said the event would bring politicians and policymakers in Capitol Hill to “the true state of deplorable human rights abuses, lawlessness and premeditated genocide of the Abba Kyari led regime of Fulani cabals in Nigeria ruling in the name of the late Buhari.”
The group called on all Biafrans to join the march, saying “the pathway to our freedom is in our hands.”
