The Indigenous People of Biafra have exonerated themselves from reported plans to print Biafra currency as well as operate a government in exile.
IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, in a statement he signed has distanced IPOB from such a report, stressing that the group has no faction and urged those he described as autopilot to desist from such a move.
According to Daily Post, he also distanced IPOB from those operating Radio Biafra in the United States, adding 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 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 they 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?”
