Biafra actualization is a foregone conclusion --Nnamdi Kanu tells Ndi Igbo

Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that contrary to insinuations in some quarters, he does not intend to be president when the Republic of Biafra was eventually actualized. 

While addressing newsmen, Kanu said that he always preferred to operate from the background, pointing out that if the pioneer leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazurike had remained consistent with the struggle, he would not be doing what he is doing with IPOB.

However, Kanu insists that the actualization of a Republic of Biafra was a foregone conclusion, the IPOB leader said he also sympathized with the South East governors and some other political office holders’ position on Biafra, attributing it to their fear of losing their positions and political relevance in Nigeria. He, however, said the fear being entertained by such Igbo leaders was neither here nor there because the Biafra Republic would be founded on the principle of justice, equity and fairness.
