MY OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN (as published by Vanguard Newspapers) - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
May 1, 2021
Honorable Joe Biden
President
United States of America
The White House
Washington DC
Re: REQUEST FOR UNITED STATES MILITARY ASSISTANCE BY PRESIDENT MOHAMMADU BUHARI OF NIGERIA
Dear Mr. President:
We, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) applaud your election as President of the United States, the most powerful office in the history of the world. We salute your adept and muscular discharge of presidential duties during your tenure in the White House.
Mr President, as you consider Buhari’s request for military assistance to Nigeria, we respectfully urge you to also consider the following:�
1. President Buhari has made Nigeria the most dangerous country in the world for Christians, Jews and Nigeria’s indigenous peoples, particularly those of the former Republic of Biafra. Hundreds of thousands are routinely plundered, tortured or killed with impunity by Nigerian security forces controlled and populated by Buhari's Fulani Islamic tribesmen, often in collaboration with Fulani herdsmen (Islamist terrorist group that has been internationally branded the 4th deadliest terrorist grouping in the world). These atrocities have been confirmed and published by US State Department in its various Human Rights Reports on Nigeria, by Amnesty International and other credible bodies. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom has recommended listing Nigeria as a country of concern because of its religious oppressions. United States sales or transfers of weapons to Nigeria to fight Boko Haram are diverted to killing and terrorizing Christians and Jews. The Nigerian army, which leadership is Fulani and Islamist is complicit in these illicit transfers.
2. President Buhari is promoting radical Islam in secular Nigeria. He has endorsed Sharia law in twelve northern Nigerian states. He has treated Boko Haram with kid gloves, releasing from detention hundreds arrested by the previous administration. He recruited them into Nigerian army and offered generous foreign scholarship to hundreds of them. He has appointed radical Muslims to head every security agency in Nigeria, including Sheik Isa Pantami whose profuse support for Al Qaeda and Taliban was widely published recently. Yet, Mr Buhari has refused to sack him from his sensitive position as Minister of Communication overseeing the biometric data of Nigerians. By defending Sheik Pantami, Mr Buhari is seemingly aligning with Mr Pantami’s terrorist sympathies. Mr Buhari is a strong ally of the Islamic Republic of Iran and China; and he has generally pursued policies that put Nigeria at odds with US national interest since you came to office.�
3. President Buhari is conducting a genocidal campaign against tens of millions of Christians and Jews, particularly those indigenous to the former Republic of Biafra. These include mass killings, torture, and the destruction of Christian schools, churches and Jewish synagogues. He has arbitrarily branded and terrorized the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a nonviolent group pursuing the Independence of the former Republic of Biafra. Mr Buhari’s draconian measures were geared to retaliating against peaceful demonstrations favoring the restoration of Biafran independence that was cruelly extinguished by a genocidal military campaign Buhari partly led between 1967 and 1970. He has concocted treason charges against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to crush Biafran self-determination, despite the fact that self-determination is legal under Nigerian law. Mr. Buhari’s demonic rule is convulsing Nigeria and creating new safe havens for radical Islamic terrorists that pose potent threat to US interests, from the Sahel to the Gulf of Guinea.
Prayers:
1, We respectfully suggest that you consider, among other things, denying weapons sales or transfers to Nigeria under the Leahy Amendment; listing Nigeria complicit in persecuting Christian and Jews under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
2, We respectfully urge Mr President to invoke particularly Section 620M of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA), as amended, which prohibits the furnishing of assistance authorized by the FAA and the Arms Export Control Act to any foreign security force unit where there is credible information that the unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.
In conclusion, we state categorically that the national interests of the United States lie in protecting Christians and Jews in Nigeria, defeating radical Islam and preventing instability in West Africa which will altogether be enhanced by a US-led diplomatic pressure on the Nigerian government to - as a matter of urgency - agree to a UN-supervised referendum on Biafran Independence.
We wish you and your family many wonderful years in the White House.
Sincerely,
___________________________

Senile fool

When I said categorically that Igbos has no brain both inside and outside many thought it was a play.

This was the same man he called un-printable names during campaignn that he is going to islamize America and other bla bla bla...

Joe Biden is an anti-christ in his online radio biafra...

Well I don't blame them, they talks first before reasoning....

Why not write to Trump that you brainwashed your followers that Trump will give you biafra through Ikonso

Who the god's wants to kill they first made mad

applaud your election as President of the United States

Trump will be disappointed at this betrayal.

He didn't write letter to Trump his god because Trump only cares about money.
Trump actually approved all the current US arm deals with Nigeria.

.

Nairalander is some of the most decrepit people I've seen, what next, ignore bandits that are planning to attack Abuja for this, what is wrong with people on this site, why are so many lunatics just talking nonsense.

hahaha...so,to nnamdi kanu,joe biden is #antichrist?what do we call kanu who always pay nocturnal visits to shrines while in the country?

Nnamdi Kanu is right, Buhari intention is to islamis Nigeria... If the USA send Nigeria amnesty who are they going to use it and kill, it is the same igbos...

God bless MNK
God bless Biafra

I was expecting him to mention the part he said hoodlums should burn down Nigeria during endsars protest

I was also expecting him to mention the part he said by the time he's through with Nigeria, Somalia will b better

I was expecting him to mention the part where he gave out number for people to call n report checkpoints n few days later his boys started killing security operatives

I was expecting him to mention the part where he claimed responsibility for making the east hell n also imploring Yoruba youths to do same

I was expecting him to mention the part he said ikonso will b buried with 2000 heads

I was also expecting him to mention the part he placed a bounty on the head of a sitting governor.

Buhari is all shade of evil but Nnamdi Kanu is not in anyway better than him,

Karma is dealing with buhari cos he destabilise Jonathan government to gain sympathy n emerge n they are doing the same to him now, payback time.

There's no difference between d Igbos n d fulanis,the fulanis believe all land belongs to all n d Igbo also believe everywhere is no man's land so what's d difference?

Leadership of the 2 tribe always spell doom for Nigeria from past records so they are all d same

comedian is he no longer jubril Al sudani. why is he calling him buhari

At this point nairaland needs to be shut down, half the people here need mental examination, some people refuse to use their heads, or are just truly evil. Evil people on this site who hate Igbos but pretend to care about the SE.

Misleading headline...

I may not like kanu but every allegation made against Nigeria government in this open letter is nothing but the TRUTH.

I disagree with you. Nairaland does not need to be shut down because there are many beneficial sections like investment section etc. What needs to be done is for lgbos to stop commenting and responding on politics section. Try it and see if many lgbo haters will not be frustrated. Its because u are always responding, dats why every tom, dick and pussy is creating lgbo threads

So Kanu is now writing US president, UN, FIFA, UEFA, something he could have done without sending Igbo youths to their untimely dead..

The madman openly supported Trump when he should have been neutral because he lack common sense.

Ogre, hate will soon choke you to death.

Trump won't like that letter

Ojiofor:

He talks before he thinks

Trump asslicking idiot

Any way that's non of my business.

Besides that this incoherent write up is baseless and trash from the pit of hell ,
No reasonable person will listen to it and believe it, likewise you need to grow up and be thinking straight forward and ignore all fairy tales spread by any means and or propaganda

Noted

Its not lack of brain, demons do not like the Truth.

President bihari or jubril El Sudan.

Nnamdi kanu is a lunatic

Dude, in politics there are permanent interests not permanent friends!

Mazi Kanu, nice one!

I dont think Nnamdi Kanu needed to write this letter. The international community already knows about Buhari's abysmal human rights record as well as the fact that the Nigerian security forces are just thugs in uniform

The international community will not be too eager to sell arms to Nigeria anyway

That's my leader

Crazy kids and jobless fool's don too plenty for this nairaland politics section

As if this mad boy is pro christ oponu

Some days ago Governor of Niger state raised alarm of terrorists at shiroro, nothing was done, few days ago schools in suburbs of abuja closed down indefinitely because truck loads of Fulani foreigners re been offloaded at different locations, and you re still waiting for town cryers to tell you what is happening.

Way to go. Nice one
