The directive was contained in an internal memo dated Monday, July 6, 2026, and signed by the group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has directed all its members, supporters, and coordinators worldwide to compulsorily participate in its weekly "Tweet Tuesday" campaign, describing the social media exercise as a strategic tool for the group's agitation for the restoration of Biafra and the release of its imprisoned leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The directive was contained in an internal memo dated Monday, July 6, 2026, and signed by the group's spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
According to the memo, IPOB declared that participation in the campaign every Tuesday is no longer optional but mandatory for all members across the world.
IPOB claimed that the initiative was originally introduced by Kanu as a digital mobilisation strategy that allegedly became so effective that it contributed to the Nigerian government's decision to suspend Twitter's operations in the country in 2021.
