It is obvious that every group in Biafra Land have no other choice than to support Nnamdi Kanu who has proven himself worthy of restoring Biafra Nation. It is against this backdrop that the founder of Igbo Youth Movement (IYM) and Secretary, Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA), Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, has made open why their groups supports the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, stating that its reasons are obvious.
Our people are behind him simply because, he has proven to be devoted, dedicated and committed to freeing our people from the prison called Nigeria. He has also proven that he will willingly make painful sacrifices for the sake of our people.
“You see, Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of Nigeria, rather the problems of Nigeria threw up Nnamdi Kanu. He and his followers are merely reacting to the wickedness of the system.
On the 29th of July, 1966, 51 years ago, young soldiers in their 20s killed Ironsi and Fajuyi in Ibadan and seized central power, led Nigeria through a very bloody civil war, carved Nigeria along their whims, created states and local governments, designed the Nigerian Constitution according to their caprices and have seized Nigeria by the jugular ever since.
He explained further: “They left sorrow, tears and blood, established the Nigerian corrupt political culture and they are still insisting on dictating our future whether we like it or not. One of them is our head of state today, three of them met in Minna two weeks ago, all in their bid to stamp their feet on our destiny as a people.
“It does not matter to them that the Nigeria they designed is not working, that 20 states cannot pay salaries, that 90 per cent of the citizens want Nigeria returned to regional arrangement, that more than half of our population have completely lost faith in Nigeria, and that about one quarter of the population are completely bent on seceding out of Nigeria.
These soldiers of fortune and their civilian accomplices have continued to resist every plea to restructure Nigeria back to the regional autonomy.
“Every effort, since Aburi, Ghana 50 years ago, Abacha’s conference 22 years ago, Obasanjo’s conference 12 years ago and Jonathan’s confab three years ago, have been frustrated, resisted by these little gods, who believe they own Nigeria.
Kanu and his followers only represent the voice of the masses who are simply saying, ‘We can’t take it anymore.’
“Kanu’s activism positively resonates with millions of our people. So it is the injustice initiated and condoned by some people that inspired Kanu to embark on a project to free his people from servitude.
So Kanu is not the problem, but those who believe they are born to rule and dominate others perpetually.”
