Determined
to push ahead with his struggles for the realization of Biafra
Republic despite his continued detention in prison custody, the leader
of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed that
he would rather die than give up the agitation.
Kanu
made the vow in a poem which he composed in his cell room and made
available to The AUTHORITY on Saturday through his lawyer, Ifeanyi
Ejiofor.
His
words: “I am Nnamdi Kanu the lion that chose death over the abuse of
his people. I instead die than renounce Biafra, give me Biafra or kill
me is where I stand. I have been arrested for nothing, I am a prisoner
of conscience”.
Apparently
referring to intimidations by security operatives to coerce him into
jettisoning the Biafra project, Kanu vowed never to succumb to their
pressures, saying that “renouncing Biafra is a death sentence”.
“They
are here to break me, to make me renounce Biafra but they don’t know
me, they don’t know Biafra is my religion and they don’t know renouncing
Biafra is a death sentence, is like committing suicide.
“In
their widest dream shall I commit suicide and I assure them that days
of reckoning will come, for God shall avenge the death of His children.
“I
have been arrested before but this time is more severe, the harder the
price is the closer the Kingdom of God, even Yawehesua prayed that only
if this cup will pass over him.”
Kanu said some juicy offers had been made to him to give up the struggle but vowed never to fall for such temptations.
The
IPOB leader said he had sworn an oath never to betray Biafra, adding
that he is physically and psychologically prepared for the struggles.
