“You have a choice of selling those properties, mortgage them, or lease them while you journey to your fatherland for your safety.
“Ndigbo has homes, villages, towns, and cities, and we must go back and double the existing development”.
“We have existing markets in all parts of the Eastern Region that are enough to accommodate our people. The international markets in Ebonyi, Imo, Abia, Enugu, and Anambra States will accommodate all the dealerships ready to relocate to our region
“These markets can be expanded while many new markets will be built. IPOB will stand behind every relocation and development of international markets in Biafra Land.
“Therefore, we urge the newly elected Governors and House of Assembly Members in the Eastern Region to work with communities to make land available in every Provence for international markets and industrialization projects”.
