Ambazonia Separatist Group Denies Links With IPOB

The Ambazonia Separatist group says it has no links with the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Samuel Sako, the group’s leader, in a statement seen by THE WHISTLER on Wednesday, said the group rather has ties with Nigeria.

According to him, “It is political suicide and a very wrong calculation for us to take any position that jeopardises the lives of 120,000 of our people who are enjoying the hospitality of Nigeria right now under the eyes of the government and security forces.

“We don’t want to go into those arguments. We don’t even want to create any form of similarity because there is none.

“A nation that was granted independence with internationally demarcated boundaries by the United Nations system went into a union with another country that has failed and we are restoring our independence.

“So, if I say that Ambazonia doesn’t have an alliance with IPOB, the weight of that statement depends on who I represent when I said so. This is the interim government, representing more than 90 per cent of the people of the Southern Cameroon.

“The opposition in any nation can say anything, but what matters is what the government says. And we say we don’t have an alliance and we don’t intend to have one because our fights are not the same. We don’t want to be misunderstood.”

The Ambazonia Separatist group is seeking Independence from Cameroun.
