Nnamdi Kanu's handwritten statement /
transcription
Nnamdi Kanu, Male Igbo Christian, aged 48 (i.e.
born 1967, the year Biafra was announced), of
Afaraukwu-Ibeku (Umuahia-North LG, Abia State),
of dual Nigerian-British nationality, living in
Pilkington Road, SE London, UK
I can confirm that I, Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide is a
legally registered and duly recognized body at the
United Nations pursuing the rights of a specific
indigenous people, in this case Biafra, to seek
self-determination according to the said charter.
The reason for the formation of the Indigenous
People of Biafra is to avail those referring to
themselves as Biafrans the opportunity made
available as a result of the United Nations
Declaration to seek the peaceful re-Birth of Biafra
in line with international laws, lack of holistic
development in the socio-economic landscape of
Nigeria, lack of youth employment, corruption in
high offices, and economic repression.
Opportunities no longer existed for the majority of
the people, and especially young graduates to
find meaningful employment in the job market,
general hardship, brutal repression of civil and
human rights coupled with system that shuns
inward investment contributed to the thinking
behind the formation of IPOB.
The People of Biafra all over the world have
particular emphasis on those residing in the
diaspora it is not advised that those in Nigeria
contribute. No contribution is accepted from
those in political office or from organizations only
individuals belonging to those organizations may
choose to contribute if they wish to the volunteer
force. IPOB is a group of people who may wish to
group themselves together for the purpose of
Evangelism or going out to the streets to
distribute leaflets and preach the message of
lawful existence of Biafra as stipulated in the UN
Charter.
There is no armed conflict agitating and any
reference to such is purely designed to stop the
Nigerian Armed Forces ostensibly the police from
coming out and killing innocent people.
IPOB volunteers are modeled on exactly the same
tenet as the world renowned Salvation Army
Front. Its ambitions are army but it does not
carry any weapons. The same thing applies to the
volunteers of IPOB. There is no arms training
involved. I am the Director of Radio Biafra and
solely responsible for the output the (genre?) of
Radio Biafra is strictly to capture attention and
imagination and not designed to incite anyone to
violence.
For very many years the Nigerian state and
Nigerians in general have continued to witness
poor economic management, fraud, corruption,
and mismanagement of every sector of the
economy. Therefore, as Radio Biafra programs
were designed to wake up the public from their
slumber and address the issues of the time,
which is youth unemployment, lack of
infrastructural provisions, poor electricity, an
absence of rural development, and conspicuous
absence of respect for human rights.
The area as envisaged as Biafra are
predominantly South-East and South-South
territories having cultural, linguistic, traditional,
and commonality in value system. Reference to
the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
as a terrorist, evil, and Paedophile is regrettable
and uncalled for and for that I unreservedly
apologize and will be doing so in a private letter
to the President. Before PMP there was the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan I also said
some uncomplimentary things about him and Igbo
elders as well, which I now recognize should have
happened because it is un-African to be rude or
insolent to elders. All I was trying to do is draw
attention to the problems afflicting society and
what society is doing about it.
The areas intended for the Biafran being espoused
by Indigenous People of Biafra are Cross River,
Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Anambra, Bayelsa Delta, Edo
(but only Igbamke), Kogi (only Igala), and Imo
States. The mission statement of Radio Biafra is
dedicated to the defences of the rights of the
indigenous people of Biafra and ultimately the
restoration of the REpublic of Biafra in line with
United Nations Declarations on the Rights of
Indigenous People
