ā€œOnly banks are exempted. IPOB leadership will communicate to banks directly. And give them reason they must peacefully bring down Nigeria flag in their banking premises before we do it ourselves in our own way.

ā€œIn line with the Memorandum of Understanding and alliance between Ambazonia and Biafra nations. We wish to ask Biafrans to support and celebrate Ambazonia Independence Anniversary on October 1st 2021.

ā€œIt is therefore, the delight of the Directorate of State of our great movement, IPOB, that we inform Biafrans all over the world of this upcoming Independence day celebration of our great ally and neighbour. The Ambazonian people billed for 1st of October 2021.

ā€œWe, therefore, urge world leaders to use the opportunity of the ongoing United Nations General Assembly meeting to discuss the sufferings of the two persecuted nations of Biafra and Ambazonia.

ā€œOur people have suffered enough in the hands of our oppressors, who are in bed with terrorists but derive pleasure in crushing peaceful agitators instead of addressing our genuine concerns.ā€
