He<br \/>\nshould keep fighting for his people; not like the weaklings\u00a0 we have in<br \/>\nBiafra land. Apart from Wike, of course, the rest are weak and decrepit,<br \/>\nI must say. Benue will not surrender. I don&#8217;t expect it to, anyway,&#8221; he<br \/>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Kalu also assured the people of South East and South-South that the<br \/>\nrestoration of the Republic of Biafra is underway. He said that<br \/>\nconsultations were being made and serious arrangements being put in<br \/>\nplace to actualize that aspiration.<\/p>\n<p>He said when the State of Biafra is actualized, part of the policies the<br \/>\nnew nation would implement would be to maintain steady supply of oil and<br \/>\ngas free of charge to all the West African nations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will give away our oil and gas for free, not just to Nigerians, but<br \/>\nthe whole of West Africa will have oil and gas from Biafra land because<br \/>\nif they are developed, it is better for all of us.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let everybody develop. It is only in Africa that you want only one<br \/>\nupstairs in the village to stand and then you complain of armed robbery.<br \/>\nIf everybody is comfortable, nobody will engage in armed robbery,&#8221; Kalu<br \/>\nsaid<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
