The leader of the Indigenous People Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has again re-echoed his stance for the emergence of the Biafra Republic from Nigeria.
Bibian Anekwe News reports that the IPOB leader who doubles as the Director of Radio Biafra, made this comment on the micro-blogging site, Twitter on Monday, November 30th, where he lamented what he described as “unceasing injustice” meted at a ” group of citizens” in Nigeria.
In the tweet, Kanu who is in exile noted that a “true nation comes with a strong sense of identity”, adding that the “‘identity’ is citizenship but it loses its meaning when a group of citizens is levied with unceasing injustice.”
The IPOB lamented that giving “unceasing injustice” to a “group of citizens” is what Nigeria under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government led by President Muhammadu Buhari “does and it enjoys it.”
Kanu stressed that seeing what he described as “unceasing injustice” meted at a ” group of citizens” in Nigeria, it is obvious that ‘alternative citizenship’ becomes imperative.”
Bibian Anekwe News understands that the IPOB leader, with this statement, means that achieving the Biafra Republic under President Buhari due to the “unceasing injustice” meted at a ” group of citizens” in Nigeria is “very vital”.
The IPOB leader tweeted: “A true nation comes with a strong sense of identity. That ‘identity’ is citizenship but it loses its meaning when a group of citizens is levied with unceasing INJUSTICE. This is what #Nigeria does & it enjoys it. In such situation, an ‘alternative citizenship’ becomes imperative.”
