IPOB backs Northern youths and NNRM in their demand for freedom

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said it stands in solidarity with Northern youths and the Northern Nigeria Rescue Movement (NNRM) in their demand for freedom. In a statement released by spokesperson Emma Powerful, the group said one people’s pursuit of freedom should not be interpreted as hatred of another and rejected efforts to exploit ethnic and religious divisions. IPOB said its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has consistently supported the Hausa people’s political emancipation and recovery of their historical dignity.
