Criticism of Governors and Past Efforts

Ike also claimed the Federal Government partnered with terrorists. He remarked, “Again, the Federal Government cannot defeat the terrorists because they are partners in crime; that is their agenda of Islamising of Nigeria.”
Disappointment in Previous Leaders

Call for Action Over Dialogue
Ike declared he took responsibility for Biafra sovereignty. He identified himself as Field Marshall Prophet Robinson Ike from Anambra State and a World Mystic Navigator.
He stated, “I, Field Marshall Prophet Robinson Ike from Anambra State, a World Mystic Navigator, President of Biafra Republic has taken it upon myself to get Biafra sovereignty.”
In addition, Ike rejected dialogue. He asserted, “No amount of dialogue as is being canvassed in some quarters will solve the problem. What Ndigbo needs now is action not oratory.”
