Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has come out to say that he fully supports the movement for the proposed one million man march by Yoruba self-determination groups in the South-West.

The IPOB leader recently revealed this on Twitter, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, all oppressed ethnic groups in Nigeria are guaranteed his unflinching support for the liberation because that is what he believes in.

He added that all Nigerians who want freedom in their fatherland should support the movement as well.

His words, “As the brave men & women of #Oduduwa plan this historic one million man march across Southwest, I want to assure all & sundry that #IPOB stands with you & all oppressed ethnic groups in #Nigeria in this brave step, & I implore all that desire freedom to support it. #WeMove.”

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is a Biafran separatist organization in Nigeria. Its main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria through an independence referendum.

The group was founded in 2012 by Nnamdi Kanu, a British Nigerian political activist known for his prominent advocacy of the contemporary Biafran independence movement.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra is Nnamdi kanu who is a dual British and Biafran citizen. He created IPOB after he initially gained fame from his broadcasts on Radio Biafra, which was established in 2009.

This was a radio station from London that broadcast messages that called for “freedom of Biafrans” and criticised corruption in the government of Nigeria. Radio Biafra catalyzed Kanu’s rise to the public scene, as he was previously an unknown figure. Kanu was arrested by Nigerian security forces on 19 October 2015, on charges of “sedition, ethnic incitement and treasonable felony.”
