The Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that achieving Biafra is more important to him than his family.
He made this known in an interview with British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Igbo on Monday, Daily Sun reported on Friday.
Kanu, who is the Director of London-based Radio Biafra, disclosed that he told his wife that he would not mind sacrificing her to achieve Biafra.
He added that IPOB would lockdown Igbo land on Saturday, February 16, during the presidential election, for a referendum on the future of Biafra.
“We’ll lock Biafra down on the February 16, to convey the message that Biafra is all we want, not Nigeria, which expired long time ago. Biafra is of greater emotional significance to me than my family. I told them when I started that I would sacrifice anything for Biafra, including them. My wife understands that,” he said.
This is just as Kanu described the two leading presidential candidates – President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – as “aliens” who have no business leading Nigeria.
“A Sudanese man is running for the presidency of Nigeria. Atiku Abubakar is from Cameroon, I’m sure you know that. The constitution of Nigeria clearly spells out that you must be born a Nigerian before you can put yourself forward.”
