Despite recent anti-biafra letters and talks by political parties and groups directed at Nnamdi Kanu and Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), it is evidently clear that the support Nnamdi Kanu gets remains unwavering and strong in several places in South Eastern Nigeria. IPOB continues to dance to the tune of Nnamdi Kanu, who has been fighting for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria.
Our correspondent who visited Umuahia, the hometown of Nnamdi Kanu, gathered that the people are ready to break away from Nigeria and will not stop until they achieve that objective.
To drive home their agitation, indigenes of Umuahia continue to gather at the gate, a historical location at the entrance of the state, to show their keen desire of forming a country of their own.
Speaking to our correspondent, these people disclosed that they are tired of being part of Nigeria claiming the country is not conducive for them. The people are also backing Nnamdi Kanu and hailing him for his resilience in fighting for the independence of Biafra.
"We are tired of being a part of Nigeria. There is nothing for us here. We want a better place for our children and grandchildren. Nnamdi Kanu is the right man to lead this cause. He is not materialistic and has been anointed by God to lead us to Biafra. He has a lot of angels by his side, guiding him from all the evil that people are planning. Nothing can stop Biafra, not even an Igbo Presidency." one man, Mr. Justice said.
Dickinson Ogbonna lambasted Igbos who are not supporting their agitation claiming they have been bought to the side of the Nigerian government.
"We support Nnamdi Kanu and all those Igbos who have refused to support him are doing so because of the things they get from the government. Biafra struggle is no small one and we are ready to die for its actualization," he declared.
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, is facing rejections and is being publicly criticized but he has shown to many that he will not stop fighting until Biafrans break away from Nigeria.
July 6th of 2017 has been set aside to mark 50 years of Biafra existence since the war and further send a message to the world that IPOB's Biafra will be stronger when out of Nigeria.
