The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has commended the Yoruba Elders’ Council for speaking up against the clampdown of its members by the Army.
The Biafra group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful also described the military exercise as tyrannical and an attempt to suppress the truth.
He said “You rose up to condemn evil and their well oiled propaganda machinery that sought to turn truth upside down and make us believe that light is now darkness and darkness light.
“Your collective and individual condemnation of the evil Python Dance II, staged by the Buhari regime to suppress legitimate agitation for freedom through intimidation, slaughter of the innocent and military occupation has earned you an enduring legacy which history will never forget.
“We also commend those men and women of good conscience from across all ethnic divides in Nigeria and across the globe that condemned the genocidal campaign of this Buhari regime against innocent civilian populations across Biafraland.

“With this public display of courage, we are hopeful that many more courageous men and women across West Africa and Africa in general will rise up against this APC tyranny and oppression in black Africa as other races have managed to do.”
The group also commended the Senate and the south-east senators for disagreeing with the Presidency on the proscription of the group.
