Engaging With Nnamdi Kanu's Siblings On Matters Concerning Biafra, Is As Useless As Bread Submerged In Dirty Water

  Engaging With Nnamdi Kanu's Siblings On Matters Concerning Biafra, Is As Useless As Bread Submerged In Dirty Water

It is certain that every true freedom fighting movement must have a leadership, and a supreme leader. In the case of Biafra Freedom quest championed by the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who hails from the Israel Kanu family in Afaraukwu Ibeku, Abia State in Biafraland, happens to be the indefatigable leader of IPOB.

For the fact that Nnamdi Kanu is from the Israel Kanu's family, does not in anyway or form, place any of his siblings or family associates as his(Nnamdi Kanu) successor or representative, especially now that he is unjustly detained by the federal government of Nigeria. This is mostly so because of the hierarchical organogram of the IPOB Movement's structure, wherein no member(s) of Kanu's family has a position or is fixated in any form.

Also, Nnamdi Kanu himself had severally stated unequivocally that in any case of his absence, as temporarily the case now, that Mazi Chika Edoziem headed IPOB Directorate Of State(DOS), being the highest decision making body in IPOB, will automatically and without delays, be at the helm of IPOB affairs.

No sincere and truly devoted individual is currently happy in this struggle for Biafra Restoration, considering the rigours the Biafrans have been subjected to in this fight for freedom, and which will evidently continue to be the case, until Biafra is eventually freed. But something dawn to all true members of IPOB is that freedom fight has a process that involves diverse sufferings, trials and persecutions, not enjoyment. And it is why I am sure that IPOB will not take it lightly with any person who tries to mess up the rigorous efforts being made to restore Biafra. 

This efforts of IPOB towards Biafra restoration is driven by the fact that since creation of Nigeria, Biafrans have never been politically included. We have only been victimised, using some few political Stooges of Biafra extraction. Biafraland and all that is rooted on her(both home and abroad) have been marginalised, without exception.

The above stated facts are why Nnamdi Kanu instituted a well formidable leadership  to ably pilot the affairs of IPOB, unto eventual freedom of Biafra. 

It is therefore noteworthy that any brother of Nnamdi Kanu, family members or friends can only engage with people within or outside Biafraland in talks about Nnamdi Kanu on behalf of their family, not on behalf of IPOB or Biafrans. It is also remark-worthy that nobody or group of people outside the IPOB leadership(DOS) represents and/or speaks for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on issues of Biafra. The only permitted person/body that speaks for Nnamdi Kanu is the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) through her only leadership, the Directorate Of State, ably headed by Mazi Chika Edoziem.

I hereby aid my voice in putting every individuals, politicians, organizations national and international bodies on alert, that any of their engagements with Nnamdi Kanu's family or with any other person outside of the IPOB leadership on behalf of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB or the entire people of Biafra is/will be as useless as a bread submerged in a very dirty water. Such engagements will only result to wasting of their time and resources, as it is not going to yield any of their desired results.

IPOB's leadership, the DOS represents and speaks for Nnamdi Kanu and the Biafrans at large. Any meeting on the behalf of Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra, without the endorsement and representation of the DOS, is simply a gathering of vultures. It can never be for the good of Nnamdi Kanu, neither is it going to be for Biafra.
