The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday, has called on all the Igbos not to vacate the North, even after the actualisation of Biafra.
According to Punch Newspaper, Nnamdi Kanu allegedly gave the shocking directive, based on the small land mass of the entire South-East.
The IPOB Leader, spoke in an interview with some Journalists in Enugu, where he received awards from a number of pan-Igbo groups, including the Igbo Women Assembly, the Eastern Consultative Assembly, and the Igbo Students Union.
Reacting to the ‘quit notice’ issued to Igbos in the North by a coalition of Arewa youths, Kanu noted that secession from Nigeria did not imply that Igbos must leave the North, or other parts of the country, as suggested by the ultimatum issued by the Northern youths.
He said: “You are aware that Scotland is seeking to leave the United Kingdom? Are you remotely implying that every person from Scotland, who lives in England, should now return to Scotland?
“Britain just left the EU. Are you now implying that every British citizen in the EU should come back to Britain, in order to finalise that process of extraction of Britain from the EU?”
Kanu noted that what he described as “poor education”, was responsible for the impression that Igbos must leave other parts of Nigeria, in the event of the actualisation of Biafra.
The Biafran agitator added that, he would not take issue with the Arewa youths, who he described as “inconsequential.”
Asked if Igbos in the North should ignore the notice to quit, the IPOB leader stated: “It is up to them. They have been in the North, and they (Northerners) have been killing us (Igbo), since 1945.
Meanwhile, IPOB, on Monday, alleged that some top Politicians were plotting to kill Kanu, its Leader, and other principal officers of the group.
In a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said any attack on Kanu would radicalise the Biafra struggle, in a manner nobody could stop.
The statement added: “But we promise them that any attack on Nnamdi Kanu or assassination attempt, will radicalise the struggle for Biafran independence, to the point which no one can contain.
“We are reminding those evil plotters, that if anything happens to our leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who has been using non-violent methods for Biafran liberation, since the inception of IPOB, that they will experience what they have not seen before, since the creation of the contraption called Nigeria by the British.”
