Give Me Biafra, Or Give Me Death- Nnamdi Kanu by Elagancy: 7:09am On May 09, 2017 |
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), has said he would
never give up his agitation for the
restoration of Biafra Republic.
Kanu who made the assertion on Monday,
May 8, noted that he wants the reward for
his agitation in this world and not when he
dies and goes to heaven.
According to Vanguard, Kanu also vowed
to challenge his stringent bail conditions,
saying they were unconstitutional.
Kanu spoke in Enugu when he paid a
thank you visit to the leadership of the
Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA).
Recall that the ECA appointed Kanu its
leader in absentia when he was in
detention in Kuje Prisons. Nnamdi Kanu
The IPOB leader was received by top
members of the ECA, including Mrs Okwor
and Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Ukoh,
among others.
On those he left behind in the prisons, he
said: “We are making efforts to see that
they come out because they committed no
crime.
All we are seeking for is freedom; a return
to the values we had before the advent of
white men. A situation where people move
their cows into our farms and slaughter our
people will no longer be acceptable.”
Kanu’s scheduled visit to the Second
Republic Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme,
at Oko, Aguata in Anambra state for the
same purpose was cancelled at the last
minute due to alleged unforeseen
circumstances.
He was also scheduled to visit President-
General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia
Nwodo, to express the same sentiments but
the visit was postponed because Nwodo
travelled to the United States of America.
However, expressing his gratitude for the
support showed to him by some Igbo
leaders and groups, Kanu said he chose the
option of fighting to liberate the people of
Biafra, adding that there was no going
back.
His words: “I have chosen the option that
we must be free as a people; that we must
be liberated as a race and that we must
have every freedom due to us as given by
God. I would not want to go to heaven
before experiencing it; I want to experience
it here.
“I thank all of you that worked very hard,
especially the Igbo Youth Movement; I must
be specific, and the Eastern Consultative
Assembly and all the market men and
women, those that closed their shops to see
us and all those who made efforts to ensure
that I was not consumed. I thank all of you.
“I desire Biafra, I want Biafra, I want
nothing else other than Biafra. I will not
settle for anything else other than Biafra.
That was what I was born to do and that is
what I will do till the day Biafra will come
that we may live as free men on this very
earth as the Most High God, Chukwu Okike
Abiama, ordained it.”
On his stringent bail conditions, he
described them as obnoxious and
unconstitutional, vowing to challenge them
in the days ahead.
The IPOB leader declined to speak with
journalists, citing the bail conditions given
to him by the high court. |
