The criticism of the national leader of PANDEF and South-South pioneer, Edwin Clark, by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has gotten some reaction.
Clark expressed that the Niger Delta region cannot be part of the Biafra Republic.
However, the IPOB in an assertion by Emma Powerful portrayed Clark’s statement as “idiotic and foolhardy.”
PANDEF via a statement issued on Saturday by its National Chairman, Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, said it was disgraceful that the promoters of IPOB couldn’t differentiate between truth and fantasy.
However, Essien charged the leadership of the Igbo nation to denounce the reckless statement by IPOB and tender a public apology to Clark and the Niger Delta people.
The PANDEF chieftain said, “Let us restate, without any equivocation, that the Niger Delta region is not part of Biafra and that no inch of the South-South geopolitical zone shall be part of any imagined “Republic”.
“It’s rather puerile for IPOB or any other group to consider that Niger Delta region would be part of any arbitrary contraption. If it becomes necessary for the Niger Delta people to pull out of this country, we shall do so, on our terms.”
