The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu, has declared that the “tyrannical government” of the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led All Progressives Congress, APC, must be stopped.
Speaking through the spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful,
the incarcerated agitator on Friday said there is no more space for tyranny and
repressive government in Nigeria and Africa.
He insisted that the alleged repressive and tyrannical
government in Nigeria will fissile out in no distant time.
Kanu made the claim while reacting to the protest march in
his honour by organised by Prince Deji Adeyanju.
In a statement signed by Powerful, the IPOB leader said the
protest march shows that if people stand up for the, truth together at the same
time there will be no space for tyranny and repressive government in Africa.
He commended Adeyanju for his exceptional bravery and
courage in the face tyrannical intimidation.
The statement reads, “In a society as apathetic as Nigeria,
very rare breed of people can boldly stand to challenge the injustice of a
judicial system frightened into obeying the dictates of a brutal dictator
against every tenet and norm of democratic governance and the rule of law.
“What he and other activists have done today by their
actions goes to show that if many people stand up for the truth together at the
same time, there won’t be any space in Africa for tyranny and repressive
regimes like the one people are forced to endure under this intellectually and
morally bankrupt regime in Nigeria.”
“The concerted fight against the rights of individuals, the
endless humiliation of those unfortunate to find themselves in Nigeria by the
security agencies especially the police and DSS under the watch of this present
tyrannical All Progressives Congress, APC, government, coupled with docile and
easily manipulable judiciary must be brought to an end.
“For injustice to end the entire population must rise up as
one to reject it as Deji Adeyanju has tried to do. Prince Deji Adeyanju and his
group the Pro-Democracy and Concerned Nigerian who stood against the injustice
of APC Government directed against our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and others
detained illegally alongside him is commendable and we welcome it.
“The step taken by Prince Deji Adeyanju and his group has
shown that there are still some good people left who believe in equity and
justice to all irrespective of ethnic nationality.
“Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has proven over the years that
truth cannot be extinguished no matter how hard the oppressors try. He has
proven to Biafrans and Nigerians alike that it is better to stand on the truth
than to be a slave in the land of your ancestors.”
