Insisting on the boycott of November 18 Anambra governorship elections Kanu said “only the beneficiaries of the crumbs from Aso Rock will support those calling on me to rescind the boycott order.”
Kanu decried the ordeals of Nigerians as a result of the prevailing economic hardship, saying that people are now committing suicide out of frustration.
“We have up to 10 dead bodies in our village now. People are secretly committing suicide because they are frustrated and are tired of living. They want freedom.
“Knowing who we are, we don’t dominate people. We are the only people that their value system is underpinned by the principles of live and let live.”
On the reports that the fiery Anambra priest, Rev. Father Ebube Muonso warned Kanu against calling for Nigerian disintegration, he said the cleric was quoted out of context by the enemies of Biafra.
“People are trying to divide us by fabricating all sorts of lies. There is a deliberate plot to distort facts to cause confusion within us. They said I am against Obiano, how can I be against him? He has even apologized for what happened. How can I be against any Niger Delta Governor?
“We fight against decades of oppression subjugating everybody in Nigeria. Everybody must sit around the table to say if this marriage is working or not. ”
“With the intelligence, we will disarm the Fulani herdsmen and stop them from the mayhem they inflict on Igbo people. We are not armed and we can never be armed”.
