I will emerge victorious – Nnamdi Kanu vows to defeat Buhari govt

Embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has expressed optimism that he would emerge victorious over the charges leveled against him by the Nigerian Government.

The pro-Biafra agitator is facing terrorism charges before Justice Binta Nyako-led Federal High Court in Abuja.

He expressed hope that his current trial at the Abuja Federal High Court would end soon.

Kanu spoke on Friday during his routine meeting with his counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, at the Department of State Services, DSS, Headquarters in Abuja.

In a statement made public by Ejiofor, the pro-Biafra agitator urged his followers to be peaceful and avoid distraction.

The statement reads partly: “Kanu deeply appeals to Umu Chineke to avail themselves of the peace initiative presently ongoing and not to be distracted anymore. He further implored all Umu Chineke to keep their eyes on the ball because enemies are struggling in vain to entrench disharmony.

“Onyendu reiterates that the ongoing interventions towards peaceful coexistence must be respected, encouraged and abided by. His call for unity among the entire Umu Chineke at all levels, who believe in his peaceful message cannot be overemphasised.

“Further, Onyendu extends his warm regards to millions of his fans and followers who have equally remained consistently, resolute, and focused. He is convinced that the present situation will only last a while, and he will emerge victoriously.”
