IPOB PRESS RELEASE 17/07/2022

The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the hate speech by the Senate Committee Chairman on Foreign Affairs, Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa from Bauchi State, against the Igbo race and Biafrans in general.

What else could be more inciting than such a reckless utterance by a supposed Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sen. Bulkachuwa to say that South-East is home to criminals, rebels and deserve to be eliminated? This statement which he made while featuring on a live programme of a national television, Chanels TV, is a call for genocide, and should not be swept under the carpet.

Senator Bulkachuwa had the temerity to spew the following against the Igbo:“They’re just rebels, arsonists and criminals in short. So, what are we going to consider to even give them a chance to come and say their wish and let Nigeria tremble and bow before them and say ‘okay, we’ve granted you your wish.’

“Those insurgents in the Southeast, they’re all claiming that they want their own country called Biafra, right? If that is the case, is it by killing people that they’ll get their country?

“They’ve tried it before; do they want us to go back to the same route? I don’t think so. But if they do, if that’s what they choose, has Nigeria got any choice?

“Will we just allow them, bow and say, ‘we’ll grant you your own wish?’ No. Nigerian government has to stand out, fight them and give them what they want.”

We, therefore, want the international community to hold Senator Bulkachuwa responsible for any eventual genocidal action against the innocent people of the South East of Nigeria.

This wicked and unguarded utterance has further exposed the hypocrisy and double standard of the Nigeria society. Were it to be an Igbo Senator or non-Fulani that made similar utterances, by now he would have been a guest to the security agencies.

Why will a supposed Senator of the federal republic call for the death of a tribe and still be parading the streets free of charge? The only reason he is still parading freely unarrested is simply because he is speaking the mind of the Fulani cabal holding Nigeria captive.

How can Senator Bulkachuwa in his mischief forget so easily that the South East has been the most peaceful zone in the country until the Fulani-controlled Federal Government sponsored unknown gunmen to unleash violence in the zone in their desperation to demonise Biafra agitators? How come Bulkachuwa forget so easily that despite the insecurity in the South East, senseless killings and terror attacks are worse in his North East? Has he called for the death of the mass murderers in the North who have been killing both civilians and security operatives?

Why is he so mischievous that he forgot that his Boko Haram kinsmen were killing Nigerians like fowls and asking for an Islamic caliphate yet Buhari was elected President both in 2015 and 2019? Even today Boko Haram, bandits and FULANI herdsmen have not stopped kidnapping for ransom and killing Nigerians yet Buhari remains the President, and another Fulani, Atiku Abubakar wants to take over power?

All TERRORISTS maming Nigerians, raping women and slaughtering people like fowls today are FULANI, yet nobody has called for the elimination of the FULANI. Why should Bulkachuwa call for death of the Igbo race and he is still walking around as if nothing happened?

But for the treachery of Igbo political elite who love their enemies and hate their lovers, this quota-system Senator would not have had the temerity to spew out this trash against the highly enterprising and globally-respected IGBO race!

, When our leader was telling everybody that cared to know the wicked agenda of the FULANI against Biafrans, they doubted him and even colluded with the enemies against their own. Today, all the prophecies of our leader have come true.

We want the Bulkachuwa and his Fulani kinsmen to understand that we know their game plan but are well ahead of them. We will expose all their secret agendas against Biafrans ahead of 2023 election. We are prepared to stop their wicked agenda.

We just want the politically correct Igbo senators and other politicians to understand that their treachery is the reason the FULANI is insulting us. Again, Bulkachuwa should be held responsible should anything happens to Biafrans or the good people of South East.
