Speaking on Radio Biafra London in the evening of June 21, 2020, the Supreme Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, reiterated that he is in no way fighting against the Nigerian Christians, rather, he is fighting to protect them and to bring their plight on the global stage. The freedom fighter said that he is using every available medium to see that Christians are free from persecutions in Nigeria by Islamic Jihadists. Kanu decried the high rate of murder committed against the Christian community in Nigeria by Fulani herdsmen, adding that the government clandestinely encourages such.
"Go to my twitter handle,” he said, “I fight for Christians every day. Your daddy GOs who are only interested in your tithes and offering cannot do that for you. We also spend close to $100, 000 US dollars every month to fight for you."
Recall that in his previous broadcast on Wednesday, the 17th day of June 2020, the IPOB leader asserted that virtually all Nigerian pastors and preachers of the gospel are living the life of hypocrisy and not that of Jesus Christ of Nazaret whom they claim to imitate. He stated that the so-called men of God shy away from truth, arguing that a true Christian should speak the truth at all times not minding whose ox is gored. The vibrant Biafra leader also accused the clergy of focusing only on tithes and offerings and other earthly wealth. Kanu’s broadcast set the social media on fire, with some Christian quarters quoting him out of context and attacks aimed at him and IPOB.
We should recall that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been on a diplomatic offensive in recent times. He has taken it upon himself to expose the atrocities being committed against Christians in Nigeria. No longer able to contain the injuries Kanu and IPOB are causing Nigeria internationally, Nigerian government recently accused him of hiding under the guise of protecting Christians in Nigeria to instigate the international community to demonize the country. Kanu’s activities, no doubt, have drawn the attention of international community to what is going on in Nigeria.
Nigeria governments’ accusations against Kanu is a proof that, contrary to the insinuations from some Christian quarters, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not against Christianity, rather he is against their hypocrisy which, according to him, does not portray the life of Christ. He only wants them to make amends and begin to do the needful as Christians.
