Nnamdi ‎Kanu Only Say If You Can’t Give Igbo Equal Access Allow Referendum That’s Not Rebellion—Archbishop Opoko
‎
‎Archbishop of Archdiocese of Umuahia(Methodist Church Nigeria), Raphael Opoko has described the ongoing imprisonment of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as evidence of Nigeria’s unfair treatment of the Igbo people, arguing that Kanu’s call for Biafra is not an act of rebellion but a demand for equal rights and justice, as reported by VANGUARD
‎
Archbishop ‎Opoko said Kanu’s position was clear: if the Igbo cannot be given equal opportunities within Nigeria, they should be allowed to decide their own future through a referendum.
‎
‎The Archbishop insisted that such a request should not be criminalized, but seen as a peaceful call for fairness.
‎
‎The Archbishop warned that constant oppression builds resistance, according to him, when a group of people is treated unfairly for too long, they will eventually react and that reaction may shake the system. He further stated that
‎
‎”When Nnamdi Kanu talked about Biafra, what I understood was this: ‘If you can’t give Ndigbo equal access and opportunity in this country, then allow a referendum so they can determine their fate.’ That’s not rebellion, that’s a demand for justice,”
