LEADER of Niger Delta Volunteer People's Force, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo, has called on the Federal Government to release the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been detained since October 2015.
He said Kanu should be released and allowed to continue working towards the restoration of Biafra, because, according to him, he has done nothing wrong.
“Kanu did not commit any crime by calling for self-determination and he should be freed.
“It is never a crime to call for self-determination, thus, he should be freed. Biafrans have to put away their differences and make sure he comes out.
When I was in detention, Igbo came together to bring me out. Nnamdi has done tremendously well and has shown resoluteness in the Biafran struggle. Our goal is our independence and the good of our people.
“IPOB should extend their campaign to every region in Biafraland and not just Igboland. The Biafra gospel should be preached everywhere and people should be told why they should fearlessly join in this movement.”
He lauded IPOB and Kanu for coming this far in their struggle.
“It is our collective responsibilities that will make Biafra restoration a success.

I agree with Asari because it seems non Igbo-speaking Biafrans are not carried along effectively. IPOB should as a matter of policy include them in every event embarked upon. The event that easily comes to mind is the proposed meeting of some Biafran elders with some US congressmen. Their representatives all happen to be from the Igbo-speaking areas of Biafra and I think it sends an unhealthy message that this current Agitation is only Igbo-based. Igbo's have done a great job but the truth remains that we can't do it alone. The day the entire Biafran region speaks with one voice, the Nigerian government will be forced to give up Biafra and then, the call for a referendum will become more possible.

DeleteHowever, there are eminent and truthful people from other parts of Biafra. They need to be interviewed and co-alligned into the struggle. Because it is very clear now that the is no other alternative than Biafra. I think the best thing to do is to call for a conference that will involve all Biafran states and start some negotiations. I mean Old Eastern Regional Conference for self determination.
