COVID-19 Lockdown: Nnamdi Kanu Commends IPOB Members For Cordially Distributing Foodstuffs Among Biafrans in South East

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has commended the IPOB leaders in charge of the distribution of relief materials to the Biafrans in Southern Nigeria.

He announced the arrival of the second and third batch of its palliative to be distributed to the people of the South East and South-South zones of the country.

According to a press statement by the media and publicity secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, the palliative comprising foodstuff was received in Umuahia, at the residence of the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

The distribution had already commenced at the weekend according to Powerful. He also disclosed that other states yet to receive their relief materials will do this week.

Kanu, therefore, urged people of the zone to be patient, just as he assured them of the continued support of IPOB to cushion the effect of the COVID -19 pandemic.

He said: “The second batch has arrived; the third batch will be delivered directly to a location in Anambra. Distribution to homes and families started yesterday and will continue until all vulnerable families are fed.

“I am not under any illusion that this is a very tiny drop in a mighty ocean but with the help of numerous Biafran philanthropists, few conscientious politicians and the grace of God, Biafrans shall pull through this hunger and pestilence stronger as a people and more united as a nation”.

“We must be guided by our creed at all times and remember that our ability to defend those who cannot defend themselves is what makes IPOB unique,” Kanu stated.

Kanu recalled that IPOB earlier had distributed over 300 bags of rice and other materials to senatorial zones and some council areas in the South East and South-South.

Those that had benefited from the largesse according to him were Ugep, Calabar, Uyo, Obigbo, Warri, Agbor, Benin, Igbanke Asaba, Onitsha, Abakiliki, Owerri, Mbaise, Ikwuano Umuahia, and Aba.

While those to receive their own Bayelsa, Nnewi, Awka Ukwuani, Okigwe, Orlu, Igala, Idoma/Igede and others he said will surely receive next week by the grace of God.

He also warned that Biafrans should stair clear of the streets and remain indoors as long as the pandemic will last.

“I encourage you to remain indoors as long as the COVID-19 pandemic lasts”,

It’s Passover season, everyone can only be secured totally and completely inside the Ark of our Salvation, Jesus Christ, please be guided as you share with your neighbours who may not have anything to eat or drink” he concluded.
