Alhaji Mumakai-Unagha, The National Publicity Secretary of
the Urhobo Progress Union, yesterday denounced its membership in the proposed
map of Biafra by the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB.
Making the position known yesterday in a statement, he
warned that Urhobo and its territories should not be included in any IPOB plan.
He said:
“IPOB have their rights of agitation for freedom of self
determination as enshrined in the united nation declaration stressing that
other ethnic groups should not be dragged along to avoid the mistake that led
to the civil war.
“The magnanimity of Urhobos in allowing Igbos celebrate the
Igbo Cultural Day should not be taken for granted as we urge IPOB to delist
Urhobo from its proposed map.”
