Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has
commended the governors of Benue and Rivers states, Samuel Ortom and
Nyesom Wike respectively for standing firmly in the defence of their
people against murderous herdsmen.
Kanu who was apparently referring to the declaration by the two
governors that they have no land to give out for the implementation of
RUGA settlement, said he was pleased that the governors stood their
ground and defended their people.
The pro-Biafra leader gave the commendation during a live broadcast on
Radio Biafra.
He expressed the confidence that the Beneu and Rivers governors would
continue to defend their subjects against external forces seeking to
forcefully take their lands.
“I like what Ortom is doing; I want him to continue doing that. He
should keep fighting for his people; not like the weaklings we have in
Biafra land. Apart from Wike, of course, the rest are weak and decrepit,
I must say. Benue will not surrender. I don’t expect it to, anyway,” he
said.
Kalu also assured the people of South East and South-South that the
restoration of the Republic of Biafra is underway. He said that
consultations were being made and serious arrangements being put in
place to actualize that aspiration.
He said when the State of Biafra is actualized, part of the policies the
new nation would implement would be to maintain steady supply of oil and
gas free of charge to all the West African nations.
“We will give away our oil and gas for free, not just to Nigerians, but
the whole of West Africa will have oil and gas from Biafra land because
if they are developed, it is better for all of us.
“Let everybody develop. It is only in Africa that you want only one
upstairs in the village to stand and then you complain of armed robbery.
If everybody is comfortable, nobody will engage in armed robbery,” Kalu
said
