| Nnamdi Kanu |
The wife of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has denied some statements saying her husband is giving up on the fight
for independence of IPOB.
She condemned that the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta
(MEND) was negotiating with the Nigerian federal government on the possible
release of Kanu, on the condition that he would renounce Biafra.
But Kanu’s wife in a statement maintained that the recent allegations
against her husband Nnamdi Kanu were incorrect and insulting.
“Anybody thinking that my husband will renounce Biafra is certifiably
insane,” she said, adding that “MEND does not speak for her husband.”
“This type of news as distressing as it is, is laughable because no
group can postulate what my husband can or cannot do or say. This is not only
an insult to our belief and of our rights as a people, perpetrated by
dishonourable minds”, she further stated.
Kanu’s wife added that “It is now apparent that the charges against my
husband are politically motivated and not a judicial process as President
Buhari would have the world believe.
“This singular act of tyranny and injustice against my husband amongst
others is reprehensible to every reasonable mind and is one of the critical
reasons for the emergence of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) who have in their
quest, consistently called for the release of my husband, which President
Buhari has underplayed.
“Subsequently, Nnamdi Kanu should be present at any negotiations and I
can refer President Buhari to F.W. de Klerk of South Africa on how to negotiate
with a freedom fighter.”
The IPOB had equally released a statement stating their leader had not
“consented to any agreement”.
