“Nigerian government should build as many prisons as possible to jail all Biafrans because there is no going back and we are ready to go prisons unless the federal government gives us Biafra.  We are not like any other people. People like us don’t come twice. That’s why I know that with the last breath in this very body that Biafra will be restored. There’s nothing anybody can do about it. Tell them that’s what I said. Nobody on this earth can stop Biafra.”

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), says the November 18 governorship election in Anambra state will not hold if the Federal Government fails to conduct a referendum on Biafra.

Speaking at his father’s palace in Afara Ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State, Kanu threatened that members of his group might also boycott the 2019 general elections except their demand for Biafra was met.

He also said Biafrans were ready to go to prison if the Federal Government did not grant their request of having a republic.

“If the Federal Government does not agree with us on a date for referendum, there will be no elections in the South East, we are starting with Anambra come November this year. There will be no governorship election in Anambra State,” Kanu said.

“In 2019, the whole of Biafra land will not vote for any president. There will be no senator, there will be no house of reps, there will be no house of assembly and there will be no councilor-ship elections in Biafra land if the federal government fails to call for a referendum.

“Nigerian government should build as many prisons as possible to jail all Biafrans because there is no going back and we are ready to go prisons unless the federal government gives us Biafra.

“We are not like any other people. People like us don’t come twice. That’s why I know that with the last breath in this very body that Biafra will be restored. There’s nothing anybody can do about it. Tell them that’s what I said. Nobody on this earth can stop Biafra.”

Kanu, who is standing trial for treason, was granted bail in April after two years in detention. Part of his bail condition is not to be seen in a crowd, neither to grant press interviews.  He has breached each and every condition of his bail using the palace of his king-father to do so.

It would be recalled that the Arewa Youths’ insistence on its quit notice for Igbo to leave the North by October 1 this year was premised on their belief that no matter any peaceful move the government made with the Igbo, that they would not stop their threat and agitations against Nigeria.

The latest coming from Nnamdi Kanu, a prince of Igbo Land, breaking court’s orders using the palace of a Nigerian king of Igbo extractions that his father is, may have proved the Arewa Youths right, some other non-Igbo Nigerians have observed.  They are however expecting to see what people who have kept condemning the Arewa Youths over their position against Igbo who have wholeheartedly supported the activities of Nnamdi Kanu and his “unconstitutional activities” but have failed to raise a word against the Igbo youths, are going to say now with the obvious disregard for the laws of the land by the IPOB leader.
