The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Wednesday said the inability of government agencies to match the “technological superiority” of Radio Biafra made President Muhammadu Buhari sack heads of media organisations.

Clifford Iroanya, a leader of  IPOB, alleged that Buhari voted billions of dollars to send Radio Biafra off the air waves, and was disappointed by “the ineptitude and dismal performance of the various units mandated to do the knock off”.

Ironaya described the dismissal of the media executives as an indication that Radio Biafra had won the “media war”.

“In several occasions, these organizations boasted that they have effectively neutralized Radio Biafra and went to town partying for their phantom success. To their chagrin, Radio Biafra continued to broadcast to the entire humanity with more devastating and damaging evidences of structural deficiencies inherent in the British concoction called Nigeria,” read a statement signed by Ironaya.

“Radio Biafra has been able to raise the consciousness of Biafrans as well as the international community on the plight of Biafrans and provided incontrovertible evidence that Biafra consists of the present-day South-East, South-South (except Edo state), Igala in Kogi state, and Idoma in Benue state.

“The ‘divide-and-rule’ strategy fashioned against Biafrans by the British and their Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba accomplices were effectively deconstructed and destroyed by the superior evidence, logic, and research undertaken by the Editorial Board of Radio Biafra.

“Radio Biafra was able to remove the scales of deceit planted by Yoruba-based Pentecostal Churches and their criminal tithing obsessions with which they cart away billions of Naira every week from Biafrans in Biafranland and elsewhere in the world. Finally, Radio Biafra imparted into Biafrans, the unquenchable, unstoppable, irreversible, and irresistible quest for the restoration of the Nation of Biafra.

“Considering these and many more monumental achievements of Radio Biafra and how hopelessly and helplessly these Nigeria’s major media outfits were, Buhari was left with no other option than to sack the media chiefs. Therefore, their sack is an empirical evidence that Radio Biafra has won the media war.”

The media executives relieved of their positions are Emeka Mba of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Sola Omole of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Sam Worlu of the Voice of Nigeria (VON) Mike Omeri of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Ladan Salihu of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN), and Ima Niboro of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
