The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has vowed to deal with Senator Frank Ibezim, representing Imo North Senatorial District on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the lawmakers representing Owerri Zone and Orlu Zone of Imo State if they succeed in backing the Nigerian government to set up Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp in Imo or any other part of the South-East region.
IPOB made the threat in a statement issued on Thursday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, when the secessionist group reiterated its unequivocal rejection of the establishment of IDPs skills acquisition center in Imo State.
“We state categorically that this covert operation to import terrorists and bandits into Biafra land is dead on arrival.
“In the light of the said project, IPOB is warning all Igbo politicians who see the deployment of terrorists and bandits in the name of IDP camp as their dividend of democracy from a Federal Government that hates the Igbo Nation of Biafra to be ready for the consequences,” the IPOB spokesperson said.
He said, “All the Imo State politicians that colluded with Hope Uzodinma to import Fulanis and almajiris using the IDP Skill Acquisition Center as a cover to be prepared for what is coming.
“IPOB and Ndigbo will not sit by and watch the selfish and treacherous politicians mortgage the future of unborn Biafran generations for their political ambition.
“We will not allow the importation of foreign terrorist marauders into Biafra Land in their quest to change the demography and homogeneity of the Biafra Nation.
“Senator Frank Ibezim and the other two senators representing Owerri zone and Orlu zone must receive the consequences for handing over Imo State for IDP camp while our youths have no industry or companies in the same state to employ them.
“These senators hiding in Abuja and in their well fortified homes working on importing terrorists and their informants using IDP camp will have themselves to blame.
“No inch of Biafra Land is available for IDP camp. The internally displaced persons in the North should be accommodated in the Northern region where there is a vast space of land. Igbo greedy politicians should know this and know peace.”
