Father of detained Biafra protagonist, and Radio Biafra’s director, Nnamdi Kanu, HRM Eze Israel Okwu Kanu, has said that some parts of Yoruba land will come under Biafra if the agitation for the actualization for a sovereign state is actualized.

The traditional ruler of Isiama Afara, a community in Umuahia, Abia State, stated this in an interview he granted Punch where he threw his supports behind his detained son. kanu

He said: “Anybody who feels that Biafra will not be economically viable is not knowledgeable. Do you know the amount of mineral resources in Biafra? There are so many mineral resources that can sustain Biafra. There are oil producing areas in Igboland but we know that the Niger Delta will follow Biafra, even some parts of Yorubaland.”

The father-of-five, who said Nnamdi took after him explained how former Abia State governor, Kalu Orji, helped him to become the traditional ruler of Isiama Afara, after some unscrupulous elements worked against his interest.

“Why shouldn’t I be proud of him? The boy is bold, and he says the truth. He believes in truth and justice. He is just like me. Before I became the traditional ruler of this town, so many obstacles were put in my way by some people, even though the generality of the people wanted me to be their traditional ruler. A day to the coronation, some people struck out my name.

“Some of the people that were with me turned against me, they vowed that I would not be the Eze. But the governor then, Orji Uzor Kalu, looked at the list and saw that my name was not there, thus, he asked about me and that was how I became the traditional ruler. As you see me here, I don’t think evil of any human being, even if you wrong me,” Nnamdi Kanu’s father narrated.
