Biafran war veteran, Col. Joe Achuzie, has slammed people associating the ongoing agitation for Biafra with politics. According to him, they all should drop their unhealthy moves and support detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking with IPOB members at his Asaba home, he lauded Kanu, the arrowhead of the current Biafra agitation and further urged other Biafrans never to quit showing their support for the IPOB leader.

In a meeting held last week in Asaba at Col. Joe Achuzai’s residence; he came heavily on those associating Biafra agitation with politics and urged them to drop their unhealthy moves and stand with Nnamdi Kanu. He was disappointed that people that should be playing elderly role are busy scampering for one political ‘nonsense’ or another. Speaking to the members of IPOB that paid him a solidarity visit as the only living leader of the 1967 class, he expressed satisfaction with everything Nnamdi Kanu is doing and urged the people of Biafra to continue to show solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu.
“I fought this war for Biafra and I shall continue to fight; Biafra will be restored in my life time, Effiong is no more, Ojukwu is no more and I am the next leader when it comes to Biafra” he said. He was extremely critical of the people that try to form a new body or impose a leader on Indigenous People of Biafra that already have a strong and unshakable leadership. According to him; fighting for Nnamdi Kanu’s release should be the priority of everyone and when he comes out, he will definitely carry everybody along.
According to our sources that attended the meeting; Achuzia in the capacity of the leader of 1967 class passed a vote of confidence on Nnamdi Kanu. He refused to mention names but pleaded the people bringing politics to the people of Biafra to desist from that and face the agitation once and for all. He believes politics will never benefit the people except few gladiators as it is always the winner takes it all.
In the past; he had faulted 1999 Nigerian constitution and fraudulent census and as reasons Biafra cannot be achieved through politics and why the people of Biafra shall continue to be shortchanged in Nigeria. He further urged political gladiators and gluttons to quench their taste and control their head. He noted that he is baffled at why any sane mind who wants Biafra will continue to fight against Nnamdi Kanu.
He highlighted the Court case in Owerri and said the case will further help Nnamdi Kanu if won and urged for support of the matter which he contracted Billie Human Rights and is looking to expunge the group which he once said had failed woefully.
“I Stand with Nnamdi Kanu” he quoted and solicited for understanding among the various agitating groups. He disclosed that once Nnamdi Kanu is out; there would be more work to be done which he believes Nnamdi Kanu will carry prominent but sincere agitators along. He finally said that first thing should come first; if Nnamdi Kanu is released, they sit down with him and have a common front and not planning a coup in the name of coming together.
