The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed insinuations that his motives for leading the agitation for an independent state of Biafra is to become its pioneer Head of State.
According to him, he will never become Biafra’s Head of State but will continue the struggle for its independence because he was heaven sent to do so.

He stated this while addressing IPOB members who paid him a visit at his Umuahia residence yesterday.
Kanu said: “I am not doing Biafra because I want to be the Head of State of Biafra, because I will not be. This is for your information. I am doing Biafra
because that is what heaven wants me to do.
“If you did not fight for Biafra to be restored, you will all be destroyed
“Because of the Biafra agitation, Nigeria has changed. No matter what happens, the status quo can never remain the same. One way or the other things have changed?
“Now, why is the nation talking about restructuring?
“The Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s statement on a revisit of the Bill on restructuring Nigeria that was thrown out last week was not to please Ohanaeze Ndigbo but to ensure that the fedral government still holds onto the Middle Belt.
“The Middle belt had told them that if you decide to go to war again with Biafra, we will not support you again. The foot soldiers of the Nigerian Army are from the Middle Belt not from the core North.
“We are students of history and we will not allow history repeat itself in our own time. That is why the civil war will no longer happen. I can assure you because we are gfoing to win this very war.
“We talk about self-determination, they say it is war; we talk about referendum, they say it is hate speech; we talk about a society of free men and women, they say it is secession. But secession is when you forcefully remove yourself from a political arrangement.”
