Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), says like
Jesus Christ, he is sometimes tempted to back out of the struggle for
the realization of the sovereign state of Biafra.
Kanu shared his
thoughts while reacting to the recent clash between some members of the
secessionist group and security agents in Enugu state on Sunday, August
23.
In a letter to members of the secessionist group, Kanu
compared himself to Jesus Christ who said to God at the Garden of
Gethsemane “if it be possible, let this cup pass from me” when faced
with temptations.
The letter in part reads
“In my most
private moments, when I reflect on this struggle and its fallouts, I
have often been tempted, like Christ, to ask that this cup be passed
from me. I am sure you all feel the same in many fleeting moments of
despair that is common with the fragile human spirit.
So, as we
mourn this latest mass murder of our people, let us all take some
comfort that they didn’t die in vain, they died in honour, they fell in
defence of freedom and their precious blood will be best requited by our
collective and abiding resolve to never back down until Biafra is
restored.”
He, however, vowed to continue in the fight for the emancipation of his people.
