FOR the first time since his arrest in October 2015, Nnamdi Kanu, detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has commended members of his group for their steadfastness in the struggle for freedom. Kanu speaking from his prison custody when some members of the group visited him said they are closer to their promised land.
“I wish to commend and congratulate millions of IPOBians the world over, whose tenacity and exemplary steadfastness to the course is and will always remain a great source of joy and inspiration for me. It is noteworthy and very commendable, that despite the spirited antics of our adversaries, the struggle has gathered the desired awareness, momentum, sympathy and outright support, way beyond our expectations.
“Your total commitment to the struggle and your determination and focus as a well disciplined mass movement has gotten the attention of the world and frightened the enemy stiff. As our journey to the Promised Land progresses beautifully, since we left Egypt, it is important to always remind ourselves that our progeny will forever remain grateful to us for our many sacrifices today.
“We are almost there and as the oppressor panic, they unwittingly wobble from one blunder to another, time is running out and Pharaoh and his army clearly have no choice than to let my people go. I remain very proud of you all. Thank you,” he said.
