NOTHING BINDS URHOBOS AND BIAFRA TOGETHER – URHOBO UNION PRESIDENT
Olorogun Moses Taiga says those drawing maps
that include Urhobo in Biafra are wasting their time.
Taiga explains that nothing binding the Igbos
with them as they do not share a common boundary.
IPOB in its map of states for the Republic of
Biafra has Urhobo and the entire Delta state Olorogun Moses Taiga, the
President General of Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) Worldwide has told those
drawing maps that include Urhobo in Biafra to stop wasting their time.
NAIJ.com gathered that the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) in its map of states has Urhobo and the entire Delta state. But
Taiga explained that Biafra and Urhobo do not even share a common boundary and
there is nothing binding the Igbos with them.
The business mogul speaking with Vanguard said:
“We the Urhobo Nation know we are not even neighbours to some of those people
who said we are part of them. “We have the Ijaw to the west, we have the Edo to
the north, and we have the Anioma to the northeast, so there is nothing that
binds us. “There is no correlation between us, and we also have the natural
River Niger that separates us there is, therefore, no case in that. “The issue
is does somebody draw an artificial map and say Edo and Delta are part of his
own. “The Youngman, Nnamdi Kanu lives in England and makes all sorts of claims.
The Southern Leaders Forum said any attack on
any party of the South is an attack against the whole South, so we do not
intend to select any nation in the whole of the South for special attack. “We
are not part of any other kingdom; we are the fourth largest nation in the
country, and we’ve not fought hard enough to secure our rightful place, but our
job is to try to articulate our position and ensure that we are due for
recognition.”
NAIJ.com previously reported that the federal
government has been called upon to arrest Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) or face mass protest by the Arewa Youth Assembly, AYA,
a group from the northern part of the country. According to the group, the IPOB
leader has violated his bail conditions and such acts is capable of destabilizing
the country.
