He revealed that delaying will only make matters worse. 

He also urged the Hausas, whom he referred to as 'oppressed’ to keep riding on their newly found courage, as they would soon be liberated.

Here's what he said; 

“As they continue their propaganda battles on social media, the great family of IPOB, through Radio Biafra, continues to win over the hearts and minds of all lovers of freedom within the new 2020 territorial boundaries of Biafra. 

“We have been receiving overwhelming evidence that Idoma and Igede have now taken their rightful position in the family of Biafran nations. Esan also has come home to Biafra. The new frontier is Benue, Kogi, Edo and Ondo, no longer Enugu and Anambra. We are uniting the chosen children of God under one banner. 

“We must allow Nigerians make their decision as doing so would save the nation from disintegration.

“The more we delay the worse it will get for everybody. We need a UN supervised Referendum now.
