Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu bags award in Enugu, insists on restructuring

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Ochiagha Ndigbo
LEADER of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on Monday bagged an award in Enugu for his contribution to the development of Igbo nation, just as he insisted that only restructuring of Nigeria between now and October 1, this year will guarantee the holding of November gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

Kanu who spoke in Enugu at a brief event where he received awards from three Igbo groups, including the Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA) and the Igbo Students’ Association (ISA) told a select journalists that unless the Federal Government restructures the country before October 2017, the world would be shocked with the fate that would befall the scheduled Anambra election.

The Biafra Radio Director further said, “There will be no election in Anambra State come November 2017 and going forward there won’t be any election until they give me date for a referendum. They know what to do; convene a meeting, I will send my rep, give us a date for referendum; that is the only way.

“In which part of this earth have you ever found a measure of self-determination to be equated to war except in Nigeria because the political leaders do not understand the difference between self-determination and war?”

“Self-determination does not mean hate speech; the status quo can no longer remain. Like my brother Evangelist Eliot Ugochukwu-Uko said, if on or before October 1 nothing happens in terms of substantial restructuring, then there won’t be any election; the people will support us.”

According to him, “On oppositions to my call by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Igbo leaders, make no stand because the people are with us; we have their support 100 per cent and come Anambra, on the 18th of November 2017, the world will be amazed.”

Earlier in a paper entitled: “Enugu Declaration”, a coalition of Igbo groups at the event called on the government not to make further delay towards restructuring the country.

The declaration was signed by Dr Alfred Udokwu; South East Elders Union; Rev Fr John Odey, Eastern Consultative Assembly; Bishop Mike Ibenene, South East Christian Network; Chief (Mrs) Maria Okwor; Igbo Women Assembly; Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, Igbo Youth Movement, among others.

They noted that, “The struggle by a tiny clique to sustain by all means, the status quo imposed on Nigeria by unelected soldiers, by issuing threats of war in the false hope that the 196 million Nigerians held down in unacceptable squalor, fear, helplessness and arrested development will be cowed by this threats of military action and therefore back down from the noble struggle to save Nigeria, through a peaceful restructuring is provocative and offensive.”

“Their arrogance, and ruthlessness has no place in the 21st century. It can only lead to the death of Nigeria. Nigeria must be restructured if Nigeria is to survive, and egalitarianism, equity and merit-based system enthroned. Fiscal federalism and regional autonomy established through a new constitution affirmed at a referendum. This is the irreducible minimum.”

“Those struggling to resist this desirable change that will save Nigeria, and grant every zone a sense of belonging, are hereby declared ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE.”

“Accordingly, we the oppressed masses of Eastern Nigeria, conscious of the fate of our children, reject in totality, the quite offensive arrogance of the opposers to restructuring, and hereby declare that we will not participate further in any elections whatsoever until Nigeria is restructured to true fiscal federalism anchored on regional autonomy.”

“We restate that if genuine processes towards restructuring Nigeria are not embarked upon by the federal government on or before the 1st of October 2017, our people will find it extremely difficult to continue to participate in the Nigerian project.”

“The division in the land, the hate in the system and
