Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has been granted honorary citizenship of Georgia, a state in the United States.

Kanu is currently serving a life prison sentence at the Sokoto Prison after he was convicted on terrorism charges filed against him by the Nigerian government.

Kanu was declared an ‘Honorary Georgia Citizen’ by Secretary of the State of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, in a proclamation dated January 16, 2026.

The proclamation also declared that the IPOB leader should be recognized as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia.

A former Nigerian ambassador to South Africa, Uche Ajulu, received the proclamation from Raffensperger
on behalf of Kanu in Georgia, US, on Friday.

The proclamation reads, “I, Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim Nnamdi Okwu Kanu as an Honorary Georgia Citizen.

“May this Outstanding Citizen be accorded every courtesy as a Goodwill Ambassador from Georgia in his travels to other states, to nations beyond the borders of the United States of America, or wherever he may hereafter travel or reside. Thank you for your service to our state.

“In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of my office, at the State Capitol, in the City of Atlanta, this 16th day of January, A.D. 2026.”

The charge and bail lawyer that imprisoned him has shot himself on the foot. Imagine making one more popular through Imprisonment . The man Kanu is being celebrated even after conviction.

So I did a search on the headlines and found stuff from some online Nigerian newspapers and igbo history Facebook page.

Nothing on Brad Raffensperger's website, nothing on the State of Georgia website. Nothing onus website.

The (cross dressing) albino person that is handing over the nonsense is certainly not Raffensperger.

More fake news, why are you people like this?

It does not confer consular privileges...it's just a piece of paper.

🤣😆🤣😆🤣

British citizenship not working and his minions had to go get that of Georgia!

I remember those good old days before Kanu was arrested. His online minions be boasting how the UK government would rescue him if he was arrested.

One even insulted my person that, You think it’s like Nigeria where they don’t regard their citizens.

The rest is history……

Gbadorianist per excellence, your lamentations this year just dey start.

You never jam..

LordIsaac:

You dignified by saying piece of paper without adding tissue to it. It doesn't offer any of benefits. Was it not the the same they conferred on their mentor Hoebi last year? I see that one Nna men has opened a workshop on them. There is no single privilege attach to it.

I am glad you agree it is fake.

This is another fake news concocted by the Ipob.

I really don't know why they like to make themselves happy on false things

So many blank comments below me... Hahahah

So what if it is on the front page, it doesn't mean it is not fake.

Imagine how desperate you people are to be inventing such nonsense.

Your lamentations still dey Genesis.

Very soon you go give yourself cardiac arrhythmia for this matter..

Stating the truth about a lie is not lamenting.

You can blow grammar all you want, without an atom of shamelessness. It is all futile.
