senatorial district coordinator, Mazi Nwankwo Ikechukwu, The Ebonyi central
senatorial district women leader Mrs Nwancho Victoria, Mazi Ogeh Friday Igiri

the same village. On his speech, he expressed joy over the level of compliance
by his people on accepting the gospel for Biafra restoration preached by IPOB
led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he noted that "Biafra is our home and whatever it
will cost us to restore it must be paid". He concluded by advising them to
do their best in the struggle for Biafra restoration because " In the end
you'll receive the reward for your effort and doggedness".
Mazi Nwankwo Ikechukwu the central senatorial district coordinator while
addressing the people on the things they need know in the quest for Biafra
restoration, took them back to memory lane in the part of Biafra and Igbo
ancient history with connectivity to Israel.
Still on the senatorial district coordinator's address, he enlightened them
to know that Biafra is one irrespective of area of domicile, "the
different area nomenclatures in Biafra land today was masterminded by the Hausa
Fulanis and the Britain, just to divide and rule us with soul aim of harnessing
our resources to enrich themselves and unproductive land to the detriment of
poor helpless Biafrans, but we're wiser now; we must unite together to restore
our God given inheritance to salvage our children from this yoke of
slavery".
He entertained questions and contributions from the members of the unit
before the official inauguration.
On his own contribution, elder Samuel O. Ogbu a Biafran veteran who also
hail from Ndufu Echara Ikwo, whom according to him served in 14 division under
Late Joe Achuzie, narrated brief history of the war, saying that " Biafra
never lost the war " he narrated the severe ordeal that Biafran children
and women passed through during the war that claimed over 3.5million Biafrans.
He went further to say that "the only thing that will give me joy in life
is to see that Biafra is restored and that is why I have come out to rejoin
IPOB in the quest to restore Biafra".
Another member of the unit, Linus Nwancho asked to know what should be
his answer when people ask him the date of referendum, saying that many people
kept asking him same and similar question. While reacting to it, Mazi Ikechukwu
Nwankwo the Senatorial district coordinator; said that IPOB has rules of
engagement and mode of operations, so should a date for referendum be given, it
will pass through the chain of IPOB command and the best such persons need do
is to find a nearest IPOB family to join or better still start one and call for
inauguration if there is no existing family there so as to get information they
need.
Mazi Oliver who identified himself as a commercial bus driver asked to
know about those who like to engage members of IPOB in arguments concerning the
agitation, either to confront them or not. Still Mazi Ikechukwu Nwankwo on
reacting to that encouraged them to always stand their ground to prove their
knowledge and agitation, equally use the such opportunity to convince the
unbelievers but be careful on the use of language and words, he made it known
to them that IPOB members do not run away from arguments and debate, "we
welcome it because it is on that way that we dismantle the junk and lies of the
enemies and gullible even among us.
The official inauguration of the unit was performed by Mazi Nwikpuka
Boniface the Ikwo LGA coordinator shortly after the audience interactions
anchored by the central senatorial district coordinator Mazi Nwankwo Ikechukwu.
Speaking after the inauguration, Mazi Samuel Nwudele the unit
coordinator of Ndufu Echara Ikwo. appreciated his members for their zeal and
compliance to the quest for Biafra restoration, he pledged his total loyalty to
IPOB leadership and promised to work hard in getting Biafra restored, even in
establishing of new and more units in the villages across Ndufu
community, according to him " We shall not relent in our quest for
Biafra freedom, we will make sure that in no distant time all the villages in
this whole community will have one or two IPOB family units established there
and any moment from now we'll invite you back for our zonal inauguration. He
