Rivers states inclusive,” Mr. Kanu said, Wednesday while addressing leaders of an Igbo civil society coalition who visited him at his country home in Umuahia, Abia State.
The IPOB leader also said he was offered an oil block and mansions in Dubai to back out of the struggle for Biafra but that had also rejected the “Greek gift”.
“They can’t buy us with money. If I can turn down oil block, turn down mansions in Dubai, what can they offer us? All the roads in Biafra land are in deplorable condition, yet we have elites who are just interested in their pockets,” Mr. Kanu said.
He however did not disclose who made him the offers and how.
Indeed, they can’t buy him with money because he has Biafrans at heart. Accepting bribe would be the biggest betrayal ever.
6. AGITATION HAS GAIN MOMENTUM: Before now, few people talk about Biafra, radio station don’t report anything about Biafra, people in remote places don’t even talk or hear about it. But now Biafra agitation is a topic of discussion in radio stations where people call in to air their views.
Almost every day you will see Biafra in front pages of newspapers. Almost every newspaper stands you must certainly hear the word “Biafra” from their buca cavity. People are now proud of it. Women are now the wrapper designed with Biafra flag.
Guys are now putting the cap and the shoe on. Drivers are now mounting the flag on the dashboard of their cars. This is to show the extent the sensitization has gone courtesy of Nnamdi Kanu and other principal officers.
Betraying the struggle at this crucial moment is logically impossible. In fact, the odd for him to drop his agitation is uncountable.
He has consistently demanded for the date when referendum will be conducted so the people will decide where they belong.
7. GAINED MORE FANS SUPPORT AND POPULARITY: Yes, he has gained popularity both home and abroad. Some UK law makers have brought the case to floor of their parliament.
Amnesty International made an investigation and gave report that “The Nigerian security forces, led by the military, embarked on a chilling campaign of extrajudicial executions and violence resulting in the deaths of at least 150 peaceful pro-Biafra protesters in the south east of the country”.
CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera have reports about Biafra especially during Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest. The Indigenous People of Biafra which he leads has members around the world. Imagine a group that spread across not less than 120 countries. What a population? IPOB is in UK, Europe, Asia, Middle East, USA and many others across the world.
His wife, parents and all his family members are solidly behind. They consistently backed him. Radio Biafra has over 1.5 million active members (One of the biggest group on facebook) who also support him.
This support alone will make Nnamdi Kanu stronger and determined. He wouldn’t want to betray millions of fans all over the world. He wouldn’t want to betray his parents. He wouldn’t want to betray God who sent him especially at this stage.
Am dropping my pen here…..
