UMAHIA—The IPOB on 21st of July, 2018 showed respect and support toward their beloved friend and brother Mr Femi Fani Kayode the former minister of Aviation on his mother in-law’s burial. In Umuire Village Umuahia North.

Mr Femi Fani Kayode was so astonished by the honourable attention giving to him by thousands of IPOB Members on his in-law’s burial. He said though the burial was attended by many dignitaries but the IPOB's presence brought hope, joy and confidence to the lovers of Peace and Freedom.

During the programme, FFK shed tears and when he saw the Biafran flag waving as he said, "I remembered my good friend Nnamdi Kanu, so I thought it will be wonderful to pay a visit to his compound."

He also addressed the IPOB family immediately after Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor the legal counsel to IPOB spoke on behalf of IPOB family our purpose of coming that is to condole him on his mother's burial and celebration of life. FFK said we should continue in our Diplomatic struggle for freedom and that one day we shall all be free from this satanic cyclone called Nigeria.

He also appreciates our efforts of love and care shown to him at his mother In-law's burial.  

After the burial ceremony, Mr Fani Kayode, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor and the IPOB members majority from Enugu led by Mazi Ikechukwu Egbo Nwodo, the Enugu State Coordinator moved on convoy to Nnamdi Kanu's compound in Affara Ukwu kingdom, Ibekwu Umuahia.

On the arrival to HRH IGWE ISRAEL KANU PALACE in Affara Ukwu in Umuahia, they were all welcomed by Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother to the IPOB leader Prince Nnamdi Kanu, Mr Emmanuel Kanu, expressed his gratitude towards the family and friends of the IPOB, led by his brother Nnamdi Kanu and most especially Mr Femi Fani Kayode, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, and some other friends from the western part of Nigeria for their coming as concerned people.

He re-affirmed about the incident that occurred in the palace sometime in September 2017, when the Nigerian army's operation python dance II illegally invaded their father’s palace.

He was so short of words, that he has to take them round the palace both in and out, to confirm by their own eyes how they destroyed slot of properties.

It took them some minutes to view throughout the affected areas of the compound, seeing how the Nigerian army molested and infringed the orders of the Igbo traditional ruler.

Having seen all that happened in the palace, everyone was so disappointed towards the Nigerian army and its federal government saying that this is the reason why the members of IPOB couldn't appease their disdain for the atrocities committed by the federal government of Nigeria.

The army shut at everything they saw in the palace for instance, the cars, wall fence, windows, even the wall portrait pictures of Nnamdi Kanu, they killed people both inside the palace and outside the palace, workers and the dogs in the compound were shot to death.

Mr Fani Kayode sympathized with the Kanu's family and to the Biafrans, telling them on how important it is for the Igbos to acknowledge unity in order to jointly restore the great land Biafra.

He also acknowledges the Igbos for being so courageous even though they are being killed and marginalized by the federal government officials in Nigeria and tagging them terrorists, instead of the Boko haram /Fulani herdsmen, who kills and destroys on daily basis.

Though Mr Femi Fani Kayode, is a proud Yoruba man, but he never relented from saying the truth.

He further stated that "the people from the Nigerian middle belt region betrayed the Igbos during the Biafran war, but they are regretting it now because they are suffering from it. The middle belt has lost a lot to the northerners. for instance, their identities, culture, beliefs etc.

Everyone knows it's clear that the IPOB are the strength and faith of the Igbo nation. Nnamdi Kanu paid a huge prize for the Biafrans so everyone should be ready to pay his or her own and me Fani Kayode am not exempted" he said.

Finally, he said in an interview with the channels TV, he is a man of peace that doesn't encourage war, but the president Buhari should maintain peace in his country to achieve this, he must forget about the plans for 2019 Election, and dialogue things with the Igbos, and stop the killings in Nigeria. This was his last statement and advice to Nigeria before he departed from Affara Ukwu kingdom of Ibeku.
