Biafra: If Nnamdi Kanu Is Forgotten, Igbo Will Wait Another Century For Self-determination – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has asked the federal government to produce their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The pro-Biafra group in a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, on Friday, accused Igbo elites of keeping silent over the disappearance of Kanu.

They described Kanu as a “bold, innocent chap who was tagged a terrorist, was arrested, refused bail against court injunctions, later released on disagreeable grounds, and finally kidnapped by the same government (perhaps killed like his dog and immediate followers).”

According to the statement, if the IPOB founder is not produced, they are ready to wait another century for another of his kind to be born.

It noted that the Igbo’s “South East is the only geopolitical zone out of the six with just five states out of 36, 15 senatorial slots out of 109, and 43 seats out of 360 federal constituencies.”

The statement read in part, “We the Igbo must demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government. He represents the new and most potent Igbo front to actualise and guarantee our stake and demand for our fair share as one of the three major ethnic components of Nigeria.

“And if he is dead as every evidence points, then we will have to wait another century for another of his kind to be born. Forgetting Kanu means throwing a hundred years behind our quest for self-determination as Ndigbo.

“Nnamdi Kanu must be found. He must not be forgotten like a dead chicken. At least, the Igbo (his own brothers) should not.

“Until then, Ndigbo remain a defeated race, shamefully complicit in their own annihilation agenda.”
