Wife of embattled Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has rected to reports emanating from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) camp suggesting that the IPOB leader should abandon the struggle for Biafra in order to reach an agreement with the Federal Government.
Recall that the detained IPOB leader had earlier slammed the MEND for suggesting such move as he claimed he would rather die than abandon the mandate which he claimed was handed to him by God
Uchechi Okwu-Kanu in a statement released on Tuesday 2 August 2016 said: “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 but also a despoliation of our rights as a people perpetrated by dishonourable minds.
“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.”
