June 22nd, 2017 was a remarkable day as Biafrans from Bayelsa State, consisting of the Ijaw, Ibibio, Kolukuma, Ogoni, Mein, Bomu, Nembe, Epie-Atisa, and Ogbia paid a courtesy visit to the Biafran leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and proved to the world once again that they are equally Biafrans and are firmly in support of the restoration of Biafra.
The IPOB Bayelsa State Deputy Coordinator Chief Goddy Fakari who spoke with Family Writers correspondents reiterated that “Biafra is for Bayelsa”.
Speaking on the accusation by some Nigerians, especially the “faceless DSS agents” (as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu calls them) masquerading as Niger Deltans, that Igbo-speaking Biafrans are “forcefully annexing” parts of the “South South” into Biafra, Chief Fakari cleared any doubt that they willingly joined in the struggle for Biafra because they know they are truly Biafrans. He said those who say that the South South is not part of Biafra “do not know what they are saying”. He even went further to assert that the man who proposed the name “Biafra” was an Ijaw man.
However, on the order by the Biafran leader to all Biafrans to boycott Nigerian elections until there is a date for Biafrexit referendum, Chief Goddy Fakari did not mince words to state his support for it “because we are not part of Nigeria” he said and added “Anything my leader says, I will follow. He is my leader”.
Meanwhile, Chief Fakari was also very confident that the people of Bayelsa will adhere to the boycott order by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He assured: “they will do it”, and delightfully, he maintained: “we are mobilized. We are there”.
From the above assertions, it is crystal clear that the era of divide and rule syndrome is over. It has been buried and will not rise again.
