“The power of the Republic of Biafra that we are struggling to actualize, is in its human assets as embodied in our versatile youths that dominate the fields of play across sectors of human endeavor; the u . s . a . we have set our vision on developing is consequently no longer to be made up of tombstones however of human beings gratifying their life missions as ordained by God.
“Nnamdi Kanu relinquished his role as the leader of IPOB conflict the day he deserted our individuals to die, when they had mobilized to stand for our faith in Biafra at his dwelling in Afaraukwu. Several of our contributors had been injured and some died in that encounter and even after rising from hiding extra than one yr later all Kanu could do was to desecrate their memory with his radio broadcast. Nnamdi Kanu vividly, especially and particularly recalled his household dog, Jack, by using identify while he pushed aside our individuals that died as mere statistics — he solely recalled them as 28 IPOB members.
“Even if Kanu had now not deserted, there is no way we would have continued underneath the leadership of a man that values his family canine extra than Biafrans.
“We are now not unmindful of how Kanu struck the deal that granted him bail in the first vicinity whilst forsaking our members, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawusi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa and Chidiebere Onwudiwe to languish in jail. Instead of the use of his freedom to accelerate the freedom of these true freedom fighters, he as an alternative went about Biafra land receiving obeisance from Biafrans like a monarch, when our dear land is absolutely republican. The travails of these our brothers are no longer over but and might have been worsened via Kanu’s live broadcast, which has completely upset us.
“In line with the selections in the past introduced on Radio Biafra on November 17, 2017 that Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili is the new director for the radio, we reaffirm that Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu remains sacked as the Director of Radio Biafra and has additionally been eliminated as the chief of IPOB seeing that he has established he is now not a worthy chief that respects the sanctity of the lives of our members.
“Following interventions by way of our leaders, considerations had been being made to reverse the until now announcement but after reading the Kanu’s stay broadcast from Israel we came to the painful conclusion that we cannot make growth with our vision of Biafra, when one man has absolutely customized and commercialized the struggle. The choice to drop Nnamdi Kanu from enjoying main roles in IPOB affairs is hereby upheld. We shall announce replacements after consultations with the various stakeholders.”
