Kanu tells IPOB members to embrace peace

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called on members of the group, to get ready to make peace.

Kanu was however not specific on his directive, as to who the group was going to reconcile with.

But his lawyer, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, who relayed the message to journalists, in Owerri, Imo State, on Monday, said the IPOB leader told members to avail themselves in the ongoing peace-making process.

Ejiofor said he had just visited Kanu last Thursday at the Department of State Security (DSS) detention facility in Abuja.

According to the lawyer, Kanu said the peace process, was important because enemies were trying to cause disharmony regarding the struggle for the actualisation of sovereign state of Biafra.

“Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu deeply appeals to UmuChineke to avail themselves of the peace initiative presently ongoing and not to be distracted anymore. He further implored all UmuChineke to keep their eyes on the ball because enemies are struggling in vain to entrench disharmony.

“Onyendu reiterates that the ongoing interventions towards peaceful coexistence must be respected, encouraged and abided by. His call for unity among the entire UmuChineke at all levels, who believe in his peaceful message cannot be overemphasised. “Further, Onyendu extends his warm regards to millions of his fans and followers who have equally remained consistently resolute and focused. He is convinced that the present situation will only last a while and he will emerge victoriously,” Ejiofor quoted Kanu as saying.
