Nobody Has Enough Money to Sponsor Us - IPOB's Statement on Victor Umeh's Arrest

 

In a statement made available to DailyPost by Emma Powerful, the Media and Publicity director, of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Friday, the Biafra group has dismissed claims of being sponsored by the former national chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sir Victor Umeh, adding that the group was self sponsored.

 

We had earlier reported it here that the APGA chieftain, who was picked up at Awka, the Anambra State capital, from where he was taken to the DSS headquarters, Abuja, is being accused of sponsoring pro-Biafra groups.

 

The IPOB spokesman said, "IPOB has no sponsor anywhere around the world. It is a big organisation pursuing the restoration of Biafra; one man or few people cannot sponsor us.

 

"We equally state that those saying that IPOB is delaying Nnamdi Kanu’s release are lying because they don’t know how IPOB operates," he said in the statement.
