BIAFRA: Kanu continues world tour, says IPOB won’t repeat past mistakes
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Sunday vowed that his group was never going to repeat the mistakes they made in the past in their quest for independence.
Kanu and his IPOB group, which has since been proscribed by President Muhammadu Buhari led government, has been agitating for the independence of the South East part of Nigeria.
After escaping from Nigeria, the IPOB leader, who now lives in England, has been touring foreign countries, engaging Igbo people and others in town hall meetings to deliberate IPOB’s secession quest.
A statement by the group’s media and publicity chief, Emma Powerful, released on Sunday, said Kanu had assured to continue to educate, enlighten Biafrans and lovers of freedom all over the world for the “inevitable” actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, with his tour of cities across the continent of Australia and New Zealand.
“IPOB is currently engaged in deep and fruitful consultations with local and international stakeholders, power brokers and influencers through our diplomatic outreach which for obvious reasons has been kept out of public discuss.
“One thing is certain; this IPOB led agitation for Biafra independence will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

“We, therefore, urge Biafrans residing in Australia to prepare for a very fruitful dialogue with Mazi Kanu,” Powerful said.
He added be that Kanu was determined to continue mobilising and sensitizing for the sovereign state of biafra “now the gospel and restoration of Biafra is receiving wonderful and unprecedented acceptance across the globe.”
Kanu had earlier toured some states in the United States of America and France.
