The National Publicity Secretary of the Urhobo Progress Union, UPU,
Alhaji Mumakai-Unagha, 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.”
