They are not after me, Nnamdi Kanu. They are after you—the ordinary Igbo people. I just happen to be standing in their way.
I also asked for an international airport and a seaport in Igbo land. They said that if those were granted, the region would develop beyond Lagos. Instead, they offered me an additional ₦5 billion to keep quiet.
I asked for equal rights and for Nigeria to treat the Igbo people fairly. They said they would ‘try their best.’ Trying your best to see my people as equal citizens of one Nigeria is laughable.
I then said, ‘Fine, let my people have a referendum so they can choose whether to stay or leave.’ They replied that prison was my best home.
I am prepared to die for the Igbo people if Biafra is not achieved. The freedom of my people is the reason I was born.”
