Nnamdi Kanu: Listen to your people – Nollywood Actor, Yul Edochie calls for the Release of IPOB leader
Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie has praised Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), describing him as “a hero who is grossly misunderstood”.
IPOB is a Biafran separatist organization in Nigeria. Its main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria through an independence referendum.
Diaspora-based Kanu, to many Nigerians, is a troublemaker, but many Biafran supporters believe he is their hero and leader.
Being an individual who has a voracious appetite for historical books, Kanu knows so much about the history of Nigeria.
Having discovered that the various ethnic groups and tribes in Nigeria have different understanding of life, he believes that every Nigerian ethnic group is different in every way, and are not meant to be together as a nation.
Also, believing his people, the Igbo tribe, are marginalized by the federal government of Nigeria, Kanu took interest in fighting for the restoration of Biafra, a nation for the Igbo people.
“Today is not his birthday but I choose to celebrate this great man today – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. A hero who is grossly misunderstood,” Edochie, who is also a politician, wrote on his verified Facebook page on Friday.
“But all he truly wants is for Africans to wake up and take serious decisions that will bring lasting peace in Africa.
“Live long great man.
“May Chukwu Okike Abiama be with you always.”
