The leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has said that despite the continued
intimidations against members of the pro-Biafra groups by the federal
government, it will remain undeterred in restoring Biafra republic in Igboland.
Kanu who expressed dismay over
the current state of affairs in the country pointed out that the Nigerian
systems have collapsed under President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
The IPOB leader stated this when
he received members of the group from Bayelsa state, who were in his Umuahia
residence to condole him on the demise of his (Nnamdi) late parents and
Paramount traditional ruler of Afaraukwu Ibeku ancient kingdom, Eze Israel Kanu
and Ugoeze Sally Kanu.
Mazi Kanu who was represented by
Prince Mene Kanu on Friday urged IPOB members in Bayelsa to remain steadfast
and never allow themselves to be deterred by the antics of the Buhari-led
government.
A statement by Emma Powerful, the
Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, simply stated that the monarch has
joined his wife, Lolo Sally Kanu to be with his creator.
In a release announcing the death
of Eze Israel Kanu, IPOB also blamed it on the military and the assault on his
family. Powerful added that Israel Kanu’s death was quickened by the death of
his wife.
But, the IPOB leader during the
condolence visit said, “I have confidence in IPOB members in Bayelsa state. If
you go, tell the whole world that Biafra has come to stay. We will not sell
out. They can intimidate us, but will not stop Biafra restoration.
“You can see what we are
experiencing in this country now. People who said No to Biafra are saying Yes
today. Biafra will come. I thank you for coming to identify with us in this
moment of grief and sorrow”.
