The Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, criticized President Bola Tinubu on Thursday for requesting state governors to give land in order to resolve the conflict between farmers and herders.
In an attempt to end the crisis, IPOB pledged never to permit Southeast governors to give up Igbo ancestral territory.
Remember that Tinubu had promised that if state governors donated land, the situation would be resolved in three weeks.
In response, IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful issued a warning, stating that the Southeast is a “no go area” for Fulani herdsmen.
A statement by Powerful reads partly: “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the careless call from President Bola Tinubu to the State Governors to provide Land in each State for Fulani ranching.
“IPOB considers such a call as careless, thoughtless, and a great insult to the indigenous peoples in Nigeria who have been massacred by the same foreign marauding Fulani terrorists nicknamed herdsmen.

“Nigerian dailies yesterday reported what could be considered as the most reckless and thoughtless call by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu during a political inauguration of his Agricultural Program in Niger State. He was said to have asked the State Governors to provide land to Fulanis for RUGA and ranches in the contraption called Nigeria. Perhaps President Tinubu has forgotten that political campaigns where careless promises are made to win elections are over.
“Biafrans are farmers and pastoralists, too. Our lands are not sufficient for Biafrans to farm and rear livestock, let alone ceding some to the dangerous terrorists. President Bola Tinubu can cede part of the South West land to his Fulani political Masters. Moreso, the north has the largest land mass. They can cede some to the Fulanis but definitely not in the South East and South South.
“Fulani herdsmen and bandits must know that Biafra territory is a no-go area. We call on the people of the South West and Middle Belt to rise up and reject Tinubu’s and his Fulani Masters’ Fulanization agenda. Any region that allows Fulani occupation either by RUGA or ranching is doomed.”
