Uchechi, the wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has stated that her husband is battling against forces more formidable than those Nelson Mandela confronted in South Africa.
She emphasized that Kanu is not a terrorist but rather Africa's most significant freedom fighter.
In a post on X, she expressed: “The Igbo youths and students stand in solidarity with Mazi #NnamdiKanu. #NnamdiKanu is not a terrorist.
“He is the greatest African freedom fighter alive and the leader of millions of Biafrans around the globe who are united under #IPOB.”
Uchechi acknowledged that while the IPOB leader is not without flaws—because no one is—“he cares deeply for his people, and they reciprocate that love, with many willing to defend him with their last breath.”
“Furthermore, Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid with those open to dialogue, despite its brutality. Mazi #NnamdiKanu, however, battles against forces that are far more sinister,” she added.
Kanu is presently serving a life sentence at the Sokoto Custodial Centre after being convicted by Justice James Omotosho of the Abuja Federal High Court.
He was sentenced on charges related to terrorism, arising from his advocacy for the establishment of the sovereign state of Biafra.
