Radio Biafra Director and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has reportedly apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari, former President Goodluck Jonathan and some Igbo elders for uncomplimentary remarks he made about them.
Kanu reportedly tendered the apology in a statement he made to the Department of State Services, DSS on 23 October 2015, with a promise to write a formal letter to the President.
See Kanu's unreserved apology below.
“Reference to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile is regrettable and uncalled for and for that, I unreservedly apologise and will be doing so in a private letter to the President.
“Before PMB (President Muhammadu Buhari) there was the administration of Goodluck Jonathan. I also said uncomplimentary things about him and Igbo elders as well, which I now recognise should not have happened because it is un-African to be rude or insolent to elders.
“All I was trying to do is to draw attention to the problems afflicting society and something done about them.”
Kanu was however insistent on his demand for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra, pointing out that his secessionist agenda was informed by “incessant hardship, lack of holistic development in the socio-economic landscape of Nigeria, lack of youth employment, corruption in high offices and economic regression” among others.
