Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday declared that he\u2019s out for peace and not for war.<\/p>\n

Kanu said his mission of actualizing Biafra would be done through a non-violent agitation.<\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, the IPOB leader said the Eastern Security Network, ESN, was to ensure self-defense and not to cause violence.<\/p>\n

Kanu maintained that his mission of actualizing Biafra would be achieved \u201csooner or later.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cLet these be clear: I come in peace, not war. #IPOB is committed to non-violence, but will never be cowardly. #ESN is about self-defense, not offense. My abiding mission is to restore #Biafra peacefully but if you want war, you will surely get it, sooner than later. THANK YOU.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanu also accused President Muhammadu Buhari of aiding what he termed \u201cirredentist Fulani elements.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is happening in Nigeria today is pure necolonization by irredentist Fulani elements, aided and abetted by @NGRPresident and @HQNigerianArmy. They will succeed if the South and the indigenous people of the North don\u2019t unite to stop them. Separation is the only way to stop them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
