The group made this known
in a statement issued on Thursday by Emma Powerful, its spokesman.
The Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) has launched “Radio Nigeria Hausa service”.
It said the radio service
would act as an unbiased informative platform to take the “message of
liberation to the oppressed” indigenous northerners.
IPOB added that the maiden
daily broadcast would hit the airwaves on Saturday, January, 6, at 7pm Nigerian
time.
The statement read………………………
“The broadcast will have
the widest coverage of any radio signal in Africa.
“It will be received all
over West, East and Southern Africa. Every Hausa speaking community in Africa
will be able to receive it.
“In our opinion, we feel it
has become imperative to educate the poor masses of northern Nigeria. The
ruling class cleverly enslaved and impoverished ethnic populations of the north
by keeping vital information and knowledge away from them.
“This information deficit
is what Radio Nigeria Hausa Service has come to remedy.”
IPOB said it wants to use
the station as an avenue to prove that it is not a selfish movement concerned
only about the well-being of Biafrans, but are also “genuinely concerned about
the plight of all oppressed people in Nigeria.”
“Regardless of ethnicity,
religion or creed, IPOB is pursuing an agenda of freedom for all,” he said.
“Our message is very
simple, 2018 will be like no other in the history of Nigeria and will prove to
be the year of liberation for those brave enough to confront the evil that Nigeria
has become in the lives of millions of people.”
It added that those
“deluding themselves” with the notion that IPOB has been weakened because of
the absence of Nnamdi Kanu, its leader, “are in for an almighty shock”.
“This move today is the
beginning of a mass revolution against our oppressors that will spread outside
the borders of Biafraland.
“Every Hausa speaking
northerner is advised to tune into 15110 KHz every night at 7PM, starting from
this Saturday 6 January 2018, to be educated in order to be liberated.”
