Twelve clans of Ezza ancestry in Abakaliki Province,
Ebonyi, Biafraland, declared their total and unflinching support to the Biafra
restoration project. They unanimously took this stand on Thursday 26th July,
2018.
It was in the gathering of the family members of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to commemorate the 2018 version of the
annual new yam festival within the clan which is being widely observed
throughout the land of Ezza and beyond, that precipitated this acclamation.
Hundreds of the people including children, youths,
able-bodied men, women and the elderly, attended the IPOB meeting in their
numbers, following the official observation of the cultural rites. They took to
the streets on Biafra evangelism outreach program, combing all nooks and
crannies of Ezza to sensitise the people on the need for the acceptance of the
gospel of Biafra referendum/restoration, their preparedness and total
participation.
Elder John Chukwu, elaborately made explanation to the
people on the reasons behind the new yam festival and its attached significance
in the life of the people of Ezza in particular and Biafrans in general.
According to him, the new yam festival has been an old-time event since the
existence of Ezza and Biafra. He further stated that the festival offers the
opportunity for the commemoration of generational successors of Ezekuna which
gave birth to the twelve tribes of Ezza as being witnessed today. He shared all
with his children in love and happiness and unreservedly, blessed the IPOB
family. He also prayed for the well-being of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,
whose whereabouts is yet unknown. Elder John Chukwu prayed Chukwuokike Abiama
(God Almighty) to also grant us Biafra, which remains the last hope of the
oppressed and deprived in Nigeria and in Africa. The elder appreciated God for
the year's bumper harvest and prayed that all subsequent farming activities and
other life endeavours of the people, be abundantly blessed.
The Ezza local government area IPOB Coordinator, Mazi Oka
M. Oka, who organized the special festival commemoration event, expressed joy
and satisfaction for the level of cooperation exhibited by various IPOB Units
and Zones not only within the Local Government Area but the entire Ebonyi
Central Senatorial District. He praised them for their contributions and the
success of the event. The Coordinator made it known that Ezza people stand
resolute with the ideals of the IPOB in its quest for the restoration of the
nation of Biafra and promised their total vote for Biafra exit from Nigeria
during the upcoming referendum.
The Local Government Area IPOB Women Leader, stepping onto
the stage, could not hide her feelings of joy as she led the audience in
scintillating Biafra songs. She called on the women to come out, embrace the
restoration gospel and join the IPOB freedom train and fight for the enduring
well-being of our people.
The General Secretary of Ezza Local Government Area
reminded the people of the enormous work awaiting attention regarding the
upcoming Biafra referendum. He encouraged all to remain resolute and resilient
in the struggle as every effort is being made to realize this God-given
mandate.
