IPOB demands referendum on Nigeria’s political future

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called for a referendum to allow Nigerians to determine their political future. In a statement signed by spokesperson Emma Powerful, the group argued that the 2027 general elections would not resolve longstanding constitutional and political issues. IPOB emphasized that referendums provide an opportunity for democratic expression, citing examples from other countries. The group urged for a peaceful and democratic process to address these concerns.
