FG Drops Another Bombshell, Reveals Their Plans To Re-Arrest IPOB Chief Nnamdi Kanu. The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, against provoking another civil war in Nigeria, by threatening to deal with freedom fighters as terrorists. Kanu was reacting to Buhari’s recent broadcast, and Tuesday’s alleged directive to Security Chiefs, to handle the agitations for self-determination the same way as Boko Haram and herdsmen menace. Kanu advised Buhari to rather concentrate efforts on governance, and how to take Nigeria out of economic recession, instead of issuing threats to intimidate genuine agitators. His words: “The directive to Service Chiefs to clamp down on IPOB, is a continuation of the Buhari’s dictatorial and undemocratic approach to governance. I find it unacceptable, abhorrent, and insulting that somebody elected by the people can turn around to dictate to them. Buhari was elected to govern Nigeria; he should get on with the business of governance, and not try to instigate another war.” “We have refused to be provoked to arms rebellion. That is what Buhari is looking for. Buhari wants a war, but we won’t oblige him, because we are civilised people. We are democrats at heart by nature and by essence.” He however, said that no amount of threat or intimidation would make him give up the struggles for Biafra autonomy because it is a genuine cause. He challenged Buhari to defeat advocates of self-determination with superior arguments on why Nigeria should continue as one indivisible country, instead of thinking he could cow them into submission by force.
“This notion and idea that we can intimidate them or bang them into submission do not work with Nnamdi Kanu. I only respond to reason and logic. I am not scared by threats. Defeat me with superior arguments not with the force of arms, because it won’t work with me. Nigeria never defeated Biafra. Britain and other devilish powers did. Nigeria can never defeat Biafra.”Kanu accused Buhari of hypocrisy by supporting the independence bid of Palestine and Western Sahara on the one hand, while clamping down on Biafran agitators on the other. His words: “How come Buhari is supporting Palestinian self-determination, Western Sahara self-determination, but wants Biafrans to be killed? That is sheer monumental hypocrisy. I want everybody liberated – Yoruba, Igbo, Jukun, Ijaw, Ibibio, etc. Convince me why Nigeria is a better option using sensible reasonable argument and not threats”.According to Kanu: “We are not armed, and we can never be armed. IPOB has done a lot to free other ethnic nationalities from the Caliphate’s bondage of retrogression and economic emasculation. Other ethnic nationalities should be grateful to IPOB for giving them the courage and the heart to speak up and say they are not slaves. “We are not afraid because IPOB is a peaceful mass movement, and not a violent arms group. IPOB is a nonviolent peaceful mass movement. There is no recorded event of an injury being sustained in any of the numerous IPOB gatherings.
People converge in their millions to listen to this gospel of the restoration of Biafra.“We are the most disciplined; most well- behaved mass movement anywhere on the face of the earth despite the genocidal killings, arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions without trial. According to him, BSS was basically inaugurated to gather intelligence about the October 1 quit notice to Igbo living in the North; and to also defend communities in Biafra land against herdsmen invasion.
“No army was set up. Forget the distortions you see in the media. They only do so to attract traffic. What we have is only BSS set up to give us intelligence regarding the October 1 quit notice to Ndigbo living in the North. We are students of history. The same thing happened in 1966.
