The group stated that attempt by the Nigerian government to keep up the unity of the country against the wish of different ethnic nationalities is a crime and will not work.
The IPOB added that the marriage between the North and South is no longer working; continuing that the people of 1914 and 2016 are not the same.
Emma Powerful, the spokesperson of the group, in a statement criticised President Buhari for saying that the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable.
It reads: “It is unfortunate that somebody in that cadre cannot ascertain and did not know that the situation in the country now calls for unity renegotiation. The colonial masters amalgamated the northern and southern protectorates together without consultation in 1914 and now no section of the country wants to stay with each other.
“It is embarrassing that the present government doesn’t have good advisers who have knowledge of the precarious situation the country is facing. We IPOB have decided not to go back in the quest for the restoration of Biafra and no human being can bring us back because it is the project of (Chukwuokike Abiama) God Almighty. Anybody who betrays this noble project will die mysteriously because God is spirit not man.”

President Buhari made the remark on July 6 while addressing guests who visited the presidential villa for the Sallah celebration.
However, some Igbo groups described the comment as “old fashioned approach to the resolution of national problems”.
