The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday evening notified the public that every major member of the United Nations Security Council has been formally and officially notified of the lawful dissolution of the 3rd Administration of the Directorate of State and the inauguration of the 4th Administration headed by Mazi Chris Nwaogu.

A statement by IPOB's Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that a copy of the IPOB Code of Conduct — the supreme and binding constitutional instrument that governs every member, officer and structure of the movement, has been placed before every notified government and authority to guide their full understanding of this civilised, orderly and constitutionally mandated transition of power.

The statement partly reads: “In particular, the Code of Conduct vests exclusive authority in the Supreme Leader under the relevant provision:

“The power to appoint, suspend or dismiss erring Principal officers vest exclusively on the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu except and to the extent he clearly and expressly delegates that power to any other principal officer.”

“In strict accordance with this provision, the Supreme Leader exercised his exclusive power to appoint, suspend, dismiss and dissolve. This decision is final, irrevocable and admits of no review, veto or negotiation.

“In addition to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a total of 72 countries and territories have been duly and formally informed of this transition. These include Israel, Italy, Germany, Canada, Kuwait, Switzerland, South Africa, Brazil, Ghana, Russia, South Korea, Austria, India, Malaysia, Venezuela, Japan, Spain, France, Finland, Norway, Australia, and many others across all continents.

“The new Directorate of State under Mazi Chris Nwaogu is now the only legitimate and recognised channel through which IPOB conducts its international affairs.

Emphasizing the ‘Critical Notice On Documents and Political Interests, the group said that only official documents, letters, representations and communications endorsed and signed by Mazi Chris Nwaogu, Head of the Directorate of State, shall be recognised for purposes of asylum applications, political engagements, diplomatic representations or any other interest concerning IPOB family members worldwide.

It added: "Any document, letter or representation purporting to come from IPOB or its Directorate of State that is not endorsed by Mazi Chris Nwaogu is hereby declared a certified fraud. Perpetrators, collaborators and anyone who presents or relies on such fraudulent documents before any government or authority anywhere in the world will be subjected to the full force of the law — both within and outside Biafraland. There will be no safe haven.

“Special administrative procedures have been fully deployed with respect to the suspension and sacking of Collins Chineduh. Both the German Federal Foreign Office and the German Federal Ministry of the Interior have been formally notified and furnished with copies of the letters of termination and suspension.

“The name of Mazi Abraham Ogbenna has been duly forwarded to the appropriate German authorities for recognition as the new National Coordinator for Germany and no other. Similar notifications and actions are being extended to other jurisdictions as required.

“Both legal and administrative measures are already underway to recover all IPOB assets, funds, properties and resources around the world that were under the control or influence of the dissolved 3rd Administration. No stone will be left unturned. Those who think they can dissipate or conceal movement resources do so at their own extreme peril.”
