“I Prefer to Die in Prison”- Nnamdi Kanu

By Correspondent

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has issued out a warning to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, alongside its youth wing, to henceforth stopping unauthorized persons from speaking on behalf of the group. IPOB further declared that its leader would prefer to die in jail rather than for the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to claim the glory of his release as he has no business with the Igbo Socio cultural organization. In a statement issued by its United Kingdom spokespersons, Dr Clifford Iroanya and Emma Mmezu, “We are in court and our wish is to expose the fraudulent charge of treasonable felony before the whole world. At the end of this case, the corrupt and compromised segment of the Nigerian judiciary will be publicly disgraced. “Our march to freedom is unstoppable; this is something Buhari ought to know. We have come to die for Biafra if that is what it will take to be free. Our resolve should not be underestimated. As our leader will always say, “Nigeria will kill us, we will kill them, but in the end, we will win.” IPOB was apparently reacting to an alarm raised in Enugu on Sunday by some of its members that some individuals, suspected to be members of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and their youth wing were impersonating IPOB leaders in Enugu, claiming to be representing IPOB in a meeting with some American officials who were in Nigeria to have a meeting with the group on the release of their leader. IPOB argued that, “The people went ahead to speak for IPOB when they do not have the power and authorization of the group to speak for them. “If any country or group is coming to Nigeria to discuss anything concerning IPOB and the release or freedom of our incarcerated leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnandi Kanu, it is not Ohanaeze Ndigbo or their youth wing that will speak for us because they are not our members and so, cannot represent or speak for us. We urge the Americans who came for the meeting that the alleged representatives of IPOB did not represent or have our support. Nobody speaks or represents IPOB except its principal and designated officers. “We want to use this opportunity to tell the Americans that came and the world that the people who claimed to have represented IPOB in the meeting were impostors, they are not members of IPOB, they are the usual Ohanaeze contractors who will always condemn IPOB, but will be fast to hijack anything good that is coming to the South East states through IPOB. They do not have our support and will never represent us in anything. However, reacting in a statement, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC), said, “The attention of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council is drawn to a rumour peddled by some enemies of Ndigbo and busy body alarmists to the effect that a USA-based delegation that came to Nigeria held discussions with the National leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council and at the purported meeting, the Biafran cause was betrayed by the Ohanaeze Youth Council. “This story and rumour is a blatant lie. Nothing like that happened. It’s the figment of imagination of the rumour peddlers. “The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council had been at the forefront of the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. They have always stood and called on the Federal Government to be fair, just and equitable to Ndigbo. They have interacted and continued to interact with MASSOB/IPOB leaders with a view to finding an amicable solution to the issue on the ground. “We call on all Igbos, MASSOB/IPOB members and Nigerians to disregard the rumour which is completely false. We must continue to seek for ways to address the issues and challenges confronting the Igbo nation within the context of a United Nigeria that is just equitable and fair to all. “We will not be deterred by the blackmail from enemies of Ndigbo in order to distract us. Radio Biafra should cross check their facts before broadcasting.  Our advice to Biafra agitators in diaspora is to confirm any Information before disseminating it as we believe that self-determination is a just cause but should be through referendum. “Finally, dialogue is the best way of resolving conflicts, as we are the major stakeholder in Igbo land, we are at the final stage to see Nnamdi Kanu regain his freedom and no threatening calls and messages from enemies of Ndigbo will ever distract Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide from playing the same historic role the late Senator Uche Chukwumerije played to release then Ralph Uwazurike and Uche Madu from detention, as only political solution remains the way to free Freedom Fighters worldwide. “The National President of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro will continue to work assiduously with other stakeholders to see that Nnamdi Kanu regains his freedom soonest.”
