The Management of the Ambazonia Separatist group has fully dissociated itself from the actions of the Indigenous Folks of Biafra, IPOB.

 

The group in an announcement by way of its chief, Samuel Sako, disclosed that their agitations and actions bear no resemblance to that of IPOB. In a convention on Sunday, Sako mentioned that they’ve a relationship with the Nigerian Authorities and wouldn’t wish to hamper or sabotage it.

 

“It’s political suicide and a really improper calculation for us to take any place that jeopardises the lives of 120,000 of our people who find themselves having fun with the hospitality of Nigeria proper now beneath the eyes of the federal government and safety forces”.

 

“We don’t need to go into these arguments, we don’t even need to create any type of similarity as a result of there’s none. A nation that was granted independence with internationally demarcated boundaries by the United Nations system went right into a union with one other nation that has failed and we’re restoring our independence.”

 

“So if I say that Ambazonia doesn’t have an alliance with IPOB, the burden of that assertion relies on who I signify once I mentioned so. That is the interim authorities, representing greater than 90 per cent of the folks of the Southern Cameroons.”

“The opposition in any nation can say something however what issues is what the federal government says. And we are saying we don’t have an alliance and we don’t intend to have one as a result of our fights usually are not the identical. We don’t need to be misunderstood.”

IPOB is led by Nnamdi Kanu, a pro-secessionist at present going through prices of treasonable felony and terrorism. The group is strongly agitating for a secession of the South-Japanese a part of Nigeria.

 

This isn’t the primary Sako is dissociating his group from IPOB. In August, he brazenly said that his group has no alliance with IPOB.
