The detained pro-Biafra group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has restated his commitment to the fight for the actualisation of the Biafra Republic.
This is contained in a statement released in reaction to the statement made by the Movement for Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, which claims an agreement can be reached with the Federal Government to release the embattled iIPOB leader on condition that he will abandon the fight for Biafra republic.
The statement entitled: “Biafra or death” signed by the group’s spokespersons, Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Iroanya, reads: “We want to make it categorically clear that MEND and their Ahithophel Team are strictly on their own and do not in any way, shape or form represent IPOB or the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. When we say “Biafra or Death”, we meant every syllable of that phrase”.
It further continued: “Again, we reiterate that Nnamdi Kanu is not Ralph Uwazuruike and IPOB is not MASSOB. Therefore, anybody thinking that our leader will renounce Biafra is certifiably mad. For both IPOB and their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, it is either we get Biafra or we die on the process of getting it. There is no middle ground”.
