IPOB made the declaration while faulting claims by certain section of Nigerians who limited Biafra only to five Igbo speaking nations.
The statement reads, “We blame those who restricted Biafra restoration project and IPOB activities to only the 5 Igbo speaking South East States for the misconception that Biafra restoration is an all Igbo affair when Bayelsa is more devoted to the Biafra cause than Imo State. Biafra comprises both South East and South South excluding Benin.
This is coming at a time when several ethnic nationalities in the South South at various occasions pledged their allegiance to Nigeria while rejecting Biafra.
While the Urhobo Peoples Integrity Group, UPIO, insisted that Urhobo nation is not part of Biafra, the Itsekiri people of Delta state, under the aegis of Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, ILoT, also stressed that they are not part of Igbo nation.
