Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has described members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) commemorating the banned Biafra anniversary on May 30 as “brave freedom fighters”.
The vocal ex-minister made this known in a tweet on his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday.
The proscribed group had declared a sit-at-home for Igbos in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones in commemoration of the day.
IPOB’s Deputy Leader, Mazi Uche Mefor in a statement was about celebrating Igbos who had paid dearly for daring to demand a sovereign nation for the millions of Igbos in the country.
But Fani-Kayode said, “IPOB’s “stay at home” order has brought the east to a standstill. These brave young freedom fighters who have continued to resist the tyranny of @MBuhari by peaceful means have won the respect of the world.They are martyrs and heroes.God bless my friend and brother Nnamdi Kanu!”
