As the trial of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, continues today, an Igbo socio-cultural group, Ndigbo United Forum (NUF), said that Ndigbo would never for any reason disown or distance themselves from him.
The NUF, which described Kanu as “a courageous Igbo son,” said the group would continue to stand by him regardless of his challenges, stressing that the situation placed on Igbo by the administration of the country created his agitations.
“Nigeria is made up of three major ethnic groups – Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba. Of these three ethnic groups, Ndigbo are the most spread in Nigeria. Igbo are well represented in the Western and Northern Nigeria. Anyone claiming that Ndigbo don’t believe in Nigeria, must be either a mischievous person or a pathological liar. Ndigbo believes in Nigeria’s corporate existence far more than every other ethnic group in Nigeria.
Ejimakor made the appeal in a statement he sent to The Guardian stating that the release was “prompted by media reports indicating that those coming to Abuja to show solidarity with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would be harassed or even arrested by security agents.”
