The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has said that he will not accept anything less than a Biafra nation, adding that it’s either a sovereign state or Biafra or death.
Kanu, who made the statement during a recent interview with Channels Television, said that by ‘death’, he didn’t mean that he would be going to war but that he will ensure the realization of Biafra whether he is alive or he dies in the process.
“It is either Biafra or death,” he said.

“The truth is a far more potent and deadlier weapon than bullets. No war. When I say Biafra or death, I mean I will keep pushing, either I am Alive or I die in the process. I wouldn’t stop.
“Had sovereign National conference been convened by the powers that be, where every ethnic Nationality comes together to say what type of country do we want? Sit down, discuss and agree. I can begin to perhaps submit to the opposition”.
According to him, it is way too late for him to submit to any opposition, “It is way too late. They have killed so many people. They have ruined too many lives. They have wasted too many souls. How do we bring those people back.”
On the geographical makeup of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu said “Rivers state, Bayelsa, Delta, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom. Basically South East and South South without Edo state. This also includes Igede Idoma”

Reacting to Governor Nyesom Wike’s comment that he should not include Rivers in Biafra map, Kanu said, “He cannot say that. It is for the people to decide”.
