The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has
given reasons why it chose to open its first
embassy in Spain.
IPOB said it was due to the country’s rich
knowledge and history of fighting for freedom.
The group said the choice of a country in the
Basque Region was because they would not
betray Biafra like others did in the past.
The disclosure was made by the Head of
Directorate of State, DOS, of IPOB, Uchenna
Asiegbu.
He said the group put into consideration core
values, respect and protection of freedom by
the country.
Asiegbu noted that they were guided by history
due to bitter lessons learnt in the struggle for
Biafra.
Recently, a video of Biafra embassy in Spain
was posted on Facebook.
In the video, Asiegbu, is seen taking a guest on
a tour of the facility.
He said, “Our Mission in Spain was opened in
2014 by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with
members of the Directorate of State from all
over the world present. It’s primary purpose is
to serve as the world administrative
headquarters of IPOB.
“As you know IPOB is the largest movement of
its kind anywhere in the world today, therefore
we have our leadership scattered across every
continent. Having our administrative head
office in a place like the Basque country is also
logistically sensible.”
The IPOB Director also gave hints on plans to
open new embassies in some other major
countries.
“It is on record that the Government of Spain
has given us permission to kick-start our
global Biafra Genocide Awareness exhibition in
Vitoria Basque country, Spain. Their police will
be there to protect us, and their media to
report the event.
“We can also confirm that the Indian
Government has giving us approval to open
another mission in the subcontinent. Our
strategy of quiet expansionism will take us to
every part of the world. As soon as
preparations are finalised, we shall invite world
media to attend the opening, if they can
overcome their bias by then.
“As you know, British hostility towards Biafra
is well documented but we are encouraged by
the fact that our broadcasting studios are still
stationed in London where we have not
encountered any difficulties till date. We hope
to open a regional office there in the not too
distant future.
“United States is key in our determination to
be located in every country of the world to
counter the lies of the Nigerian government.
One of the areas we failed during the war of
1967-70 is that we lacked adequate presence
abroad. Having identified this need, our leader
quickly put in place a mechanism for the
establishment of missions and offices around
the world.
“We have a small office in Inglewood area of
Los Angeles California which we hope to
expand in the near future. Very soon we will
announce the opening of our main office of the
head of mission in Washington United States.
All hands are on deck to achieve this.
“We evaluate the criteria of opening an
embassy in a country based on their core
values, respect and protection of freedom. How
they view the issue of the rights of Indigenous
people is also a determining factor.”
