The banned Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that the era of internal sabotage in the organization is over.
The declaration followed the resolution of the recent internal crisis in the organization, which led to the expulsion of some leading figures.
The newly inaugurated Head of the 4th Administration of the IPOB Directorate of State, Chris Nwaogu, made the declaration in an address’ on Monday.
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had appointed Nwaogu as the head of the 4th Administration of that DOS, the group’s apex administrative body, following the dissolution of the 3rd Administration headed by Chika Edoziem.
Nwaogu pledged that, by the authority vested in him by Kanu, “the era of confusion, betrayal, abandonment, and internal sabotage is over”.
He vowed that IPOB must return to truth, loyalty, discipline, sacrifice, accountability, and absolute commitment to the restoration of Biafra, which he described as the principles upon which the movement was founded.
Stating the immediate priorities of the 4th Administration, Nwaogu disclosed that the revival of Radio Biafra is top on the agenda.
He also said the group will work towards securing the freedom of detained IPOB members, and also address the welfare needs of personnel of the Eastern Security Network, ESN.
Nwaogu also harped on the need for financial accountability, adding that “every contribution made by Biafrans across the world represents sacrifice.
“Those resources belong to the movement, not to individuals. Our administration will restore financial discipline, transparency, and confidence throughout every structure of IPOB.”
