The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been proclaimed not only as Igbo hero, hero of Eastern Nigerian but Nigerian hero.
This disclosure was made by Chief Joseph Okpala while fielding questions from journalists on national issues.
While speaking on the restructuring of Nigeria, he gave former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on the back for seeing the reason for the urgent restructuring of the country in recent times which which has eventually gained currency.
On the agitation for Biafra, he said what gave birth to the ongoing separatist feelings and aspirations is nothing short of oppression while citing several instances in history with the oppression of blacks in America and South Africa as case studies.
According to him, ''When you are oppressing a people and cheating them. No sane society can thrive under such arrangement. You are sowing a seed of trouble, and the fruit it bears is the renewed agitation for Biafra. When America was oppressing the Blacks, it gave rise to agitation championed by people like Martin Luther King Jr, but because they were dealing with intelligent people that wanted their nation to be great, the wall of segregation broke down, and they opened their door that later gave rise to Obama becoming the President of US. People had to pay the price, like Martin Luther King. Nnamdi Kanu is an Igbo hero, hero of Eastern Nigeria, and Nigeria’s hero. Let nobody make mistake about it.''
Continuing he called attention to his numerous write-ups where he said he equally described the ex-Biafran leader and warlord Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu as none other than a hero.
He said, '' Just like in one of my write ups, where I described Ojukwu, as an Igbo hero, Eastern hero, and Nigeria’s hero. Such people with courage, guts and nerves make every society to move forward. Martin Luther King suffered all forms of incarceration, and finally paid with his life. Eventually, about half a century after, one of the most conservative Presidents in American history, Ronald Reagan, signed into the law, a national holiday for Martin Luther King.''
Nnamdi Kanu, he said is the equivalent of Martin Luther today and advised him never to compromise in order to carve a niche for himself in the temple of fame adding that the likes of Zulus who did that in apartheid South Africa fell afterwards like a pack of cards.
His words: ''Nnamdi Kanu shouldn’t compromise. The more he is there; the more it is becoming dangerous for Nigeria, because the world’s conscience would be aroused. He is the conscience of the society, and Femi Fani Kayode, recently said so when he had a chat with him. He said Kanu is Ojukwu and Nzogwu combined.
''He is the soul and conscience of Nigeria today, and when he comes out, he will shake hands with heads of states. Through him, the Nigerian authorities are trying to break Igbo’s best attributes – resolve, tenacity and resilience, which was what they did by shooting unarmed Biafra agitators in Onitsha, Aba, Asaba, Port Harcourt and other places.
''I’m happy that Amnesty International has written reports of some of the activities of the Nigerian security operatives against those unarmed protesters. Britain did Brexit, no one was shot. Britain feels it has a choice to be in the European Union, but it feels that Black people don’t have the right to determine where they want to be. That is hypocrisy. What makes me happy is the attitude of Kanu’s family members, who are staunchly behind him. In the fullness of God’s time, they would be so proud of their son, likewise the Igbo. These separatist agitations remain the trump card for one Nigeria.''
