While speaking on Wednesday, when the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, paid him in his Enugu residence, former Nigerian vice president, Alex Ekwueme, expressed delight over the release of the IPOB leader.
The ex-president said that IPOB’s agitation was for equity and justice for all people of Nigeria, particularly the Igbo, and assured the IPOB leader that he would always give him the needed counsel in his Biafra agitation.
“I will make my best counsel available to him in his very onerous task of leading an organisation that is committed to bringing justice and equity among people, especially for our people,” Ekwueme said, adding that it was a pleasure to host Kanu after his release from detention.
“I thank God that you are free and able to move around,” he said.
In his remarks, Nnamdi Kanu told Ekwueme that he was at his residence to seek his wise counsel, saying that he had learnt one or two things from the former vice president that he never read in history text books in his life.
The IPOB leader explained that he also came to brief the elder statesman of the activities of IPOB, and his reasons for championing the agitation for Biafra.
Kanu described the former vice president as “invaluable” to the Biafran struggle, and promised to abide by any advice given to him by the elder statesman.
He said; “I am humbled and delighted to be here and also to bring you up to speed as to what we have been doing, what motivated me, and what motivated the IPOB to do what we have been doing.
“It (IPOB) is, more or less, today, an expression, a political expression to the yearnings and aspirations of the society – that’s what we are trying to do.
“The sum total of the struggle by the IPOB, which I am leading, is to ensure that there is dignity of life.
“And for us to fulfill that very mandate, we must be diligent, we must be focused, and we must be sincere. So, I have come here to brief my father as to why we do what we do, and to get his blessings.
“Anything he tells me is what we are going to do, in so far as it advances our political cause as a people.”
