By: Kelechi Igwe
Nnamdi Kanu who is the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has frowned at President Muhammadu Buhari's threat to use force and comparing the group to Boko Haram. Kanu spoke in Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia where he was responding to the call by the president to security operatives to clamp down on Boko Haram and secessionist groups.
He said the people must not be “railroaded into succumbing to intimidation.” Insisting that use of force would not solve the country’s problem. Nnamdi Kanu said Buhari “ He said AK 47 is not and should not be the way to resolve burning national issues like the call for Biafra, he rather calls for a round table discussion to argue out issues rather than resort to threats.
“It is the continuation of Buhari’s dictatorial and unwholesomely undemocratic approach to governance. “I find it unacceptable and insulting that somebody elected by the people can turn around and dictate to them how he wants them to behave.”
Meanwhile Kanu denied setting up the Biafra secret police to intimidate people but rather to provide security. he said that he set up the Biafra Secret Service so as to provide security for Igbo people. Kanu spoke shortly after his visit to Senator Enyinna Abaribe in Abia on Tuesday, August 22.
