The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that the constitution of the proposed Republic of Biafra would be a collective responsibility of all the people and not that of an individual as was the case of Nigeria where the former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar wrote the 1999 Constitution and forced Nigerians to accept.
It also, stated that the constitution would neither make provisions for Sharia even as Biafra would not belong to the Organisation of Islamic Countries, OIC. In its first enlightenment series for the people, IPOB further said that every Biafran would participate in the formulation and ratification of the new constitution as no single individual would arrogate the power of the people to him or herself to write the “nation’s constitution.” IPOB Spokespersons, Emma Nmezu and Dr Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya made this known in a statement in Enugu yesterday.
