We, therefore, dissociate ourselves completely from the purported Government in Exile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPoB has legitimate and well-established Institutions and well structured administrative hierarchy that oversees the day-to-day running of Biafra affairs. Already, all Diplomatic Missions and countries of the world know about Biafra agitation and they communicate with IPoB as the responsible authority that oversees the affairs of the Biafran people be it nationally or internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPoB has international contacts and connections, not through any worthless Government In Exile, but our established institutions and structures. So, anybody or group peddling or claiming to have set up Government In Exile has again embarked on a jamboree like those who came before them claiming to have formed a government in exile at one point in time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u00a0 simply do not deserve to be given any attention because this is the avenue that the Nigerian government wants to use to\u00a0 water down our agitation\u00a0 for total freedom. We are not unaware that some dissidents expelled from IPoB including a former deputy to our leader had once suggested this Government in Exile, to our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, but he did not buy into it knowing fully how needless it is at this stage of our struggle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unfortunate\u00a0 that now\u00a0 our leader is in detention, these same elements saw it as an opportunity to actualise their selfish ambition by quickly claiming to have set up the non-existent\u00a0 GIE. We know\u00a0 that their ultimate\u00a0 aim is to use it to sell the Biafra\u00a0 struggle to our enemies but they have failed woefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u00a0 knew that many infiltrators sponsored by some unfortunate politicians are fighting strongly to sell Biafra freedom through their main infiltrator hiding in Finland. He has run out of gimmicks to stay afloat, hence, he decided to resort to the latest claims of purported GIE gimmick to deceive his gullible followers.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, yesterday, described the purported Biafra Government in exile as a ruse that should be ignored.
