PRESS STATEMENT : 13/9/2017

Before now, prominent
leaders and groups had insisted that I tow the line of peaceful dialogue and
meet with the governors to find a lasting solution to our grievances. I
conceded to that request which led to the 30th of August 2017 meeting with the
South-East Governors Forum at the Government House in Enugu, in the company of
the very eminent Prof. Ben Nwabueze and Evangelist Elliott Ugochukwu-Ukoh.
In view of the concerted effort by the oppressive Nigerian state
to shatter the peace and tranquility of the South-East and the rest of
Biafra land through military intimidation, it has become necessary for me to clarify
why, regrettably, I may not be able to attend Friday’s meeting with the
South-East governors as earlier agreed, for three main reasons.
1.) We are currently busy attending to our dead and injured from
this latest round of unprovoked military onslaught against innocent civilians
in our own land. All the casualties so far were shot by men of the Nigerian
Army deployed to my house and those stationed along motor ways leading into
Umuahia my hometow
2.) I have been
reliably informed also, that a detachment of this same soldiers responsible for
the murder of innocent unarmed IPOB family members have now been stationed near
Enugu to ambush and assassinate me on my way to the meeting with the governors
on Friday.
3.) On that same Friday the 15th of September 2017, the
leadership of IPOB through the instrumentality of the Directorate of State
(DOS) headquartered in Germany, will be meeting to vote on the viability or
otherwise of continuing our struggle in this non-violent manner. There is
urgent need to begin the process of defending ourselves in the face of
relentless murderous attacks from the Nigerian state.
It is impossible to engage in any meaningful conversation with
the governors in the midst of so much bloodshed, abductions and military siege
of our town and villages. Accordingly, we will not engage in any meeting with
anybody until the atmosphere is conducive and peaceful enough to allow for
such.
The siren-blaring military convoys and armoured vehicles
occupying the entire region is not only designed to intimidate our people but
also deliberately primed to scuttle the IPOB/South-East governors meeting of
Friday 15th September.
I would like to use this opportunity to thank all men and women
of good conscience from all over the world that have risen to condemn the
barbaric slaughter of innocent Biafrans by the Nigerian military. Above all, I
salute the steadfastness, devotion and total commitment to freedom from eternal
slavery by the great IPOB family in Biafraland. I assure you that I remain
resolute and dedicated to our shared vision of freedom regardless of the cost
and vision
We have since crossed
the Red Sea and arrived at the shores of the promised land. We have our
trumpets ready to begin the great march around the evil walls of Jericho, and I
assure you that in no distant time, the walls of Jericho will come crashing
down.
We can still hear the cries of Pharaoh and his horsemen as they are swallowed up by the Red Sea, chariots and all. Victory is ours! Victory is assured!!
We can still hear the cries of Pharaoh and his horsemen as they are swallowed up by the Red Sea, chariots and all. Victory is ours! Victory is assured!!
Collaborators and agents of the oppressor are hereby advised to
embark on self exile as there will be no hiding place for them.
Signed: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (IPOB Leader)
