The move by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to re-arrest the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, after he was granted bail by an Abuja Federal High Court, is currently generating controversy across the nation.
Recall, that the Nigeria Police has said that they would not hesitate to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu, if he dares to disrupt the forthcoming election in Anambra State, slated for November 18.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, Jimoh Moshood, the Force Headquarters have drafted Policemen to keep watch in Anambra, as the election draws near.
However, Nnamdi Kanu in an exclusive interview with Daily Post, on Saturday night, vowed to resist the arrest, insisting that Nigeria would burn, if the Federal Government moves to re-arrest him.
When asked, I know you have a son whom you have not set your eyes on since he was born, because of agitation. Don’t you feel for this boy; his future if something untoward happens to him?
In a swift response, Nnamdi Kanu said: “I will sacrifice anything including my family to ensure that Biafra is restored. Any obstacle on my way will be obliterated. I’m not asking for Sokoto; I’m not asking for Kaduna, or Borno, I said this very land where my progenitors raised us; the land of our ancestors; of over 5,000 years old, this land must be free, absolutely free, I assure you of that. The way we were before the whiteman came; had the white man not come, I would have no relationship with Sokoto, none whatsoever.
“The whiteman is not God, only God can create a nation, Lord Luguard is not God, only God can create a nation. I can tell you the day Nigeria was created even till the exact second and hour, but you can’t tell me when Biafra was created. It came as a result of organic interaction of cultures and value systems and traditions fussed into one to make Biafra a possibility; that is how nations emerge. By the collision of commonalities and value systems; not one idiot somewhere pontificating and dictating to us who should be in a country, or not.
“Other African people can accept it, Nnamdi Kanu cannot accept that. The whiteman is not God and cannot create a country for me. Have Nigerians sat round the table to say we have agreed that our name is Nigeria? We want to live together; perhaps, there will be a strong argument against what I’m proposing. Right now, what we are seeking to do, is go back to where we were before 1914. From there, we can then begin to negotiate and discuss.”
