Exterminating Nnamdi Kanu won’t solve Biafra agitation – Dele Momodu

Media mogul Dele Momodu has called for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, saying his extermination will not solve the Biafra agitation.

Taking to his official X page on Tuesday, Momodu posted Kanu’s broadcast from 2021, stating that the IPOB leader’s critics jumped to conclusions without proper analysis of the reason why the Biafra agitation became reignited.

According to him, the continuing marginalisation of the Igbos reignited the Biafra sentiment.

Momodu ended the social media post by hinting that the Igbos should be given productive engagements.

“MAZI NNAMDI KANU made this thought-provoking broadcast in which he philosophised about the reasons he and his supporters became radicalised.

“I have taken time to listen to his critics and discovered most of them only jumped to conclusions without proper analysis of why agitation for BIAFRA became reignited, attractive and fanciful after the pogrom that wasted millions of lives and destroyed unimaginable properties in the 1960s and ’70s.

“The continuing marginalisation of the Igbo and deprivation accorded some of the most energetic and vibrant brains in Africa, and globally, rekindled the BIAFRA sentiment.

“Attempts by enemies of KANU, including his own kinsmen, to exterminate him will never solve the problem. The IGBO struggle goes beyond legalese.

“It requires serious political reconfiguration, and urgently too. I will never support violence. But any sensible government will keep the geniuses of the South East very busy, with productive engagements, instead of this rabid hatred… #freennamdikanunow,” the post reads.
