Just In : IPOB clears air on alleged plot to form government, print Biafran currency
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it has no intention to operate a government in exile and print Biafra currency.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said those embarking on such move should desist from it as the group has not recognised any parallel faction for such move.
Mr Powerful further distanced IPOB from those operating Radio Biafra in the United States, noting that those operating under the guise of the Directorate of State are not members of IPOB.
The statement read in parts: “We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of the great liberator Nnamdi Kanu once again reiterate that IPOB is not part of the formation of Biafra government in exile anywhere.
“The people behind the shambolic Radio Biafra government in exile in the USA are not IPOB members, and they should stop linking themselves to us.
“Those piloting government in exile in the USA are not IPOB members and don’t mean well for Biafra freedom and restoration.
“IPOB has no plan to print Biafra currency, stamps, and other important state documents because we are not yet a sovereign nation. If we print currencies now, where can they be used as legal tender?”
