Coronavirus Fear - Nnamdi Kanu Announces Donating N50m To Biafra Lands

IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

According to The Nation, the leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu announced a donation of N50 million to help combat the potential spread of coronavirus pandemic in Biafra land.

Kanu made this announcement on Friday in an audio broadcast made available to the Nation, where he said that they never saw it coming and are committing an initial N50 million to help equip the hospitals in Biafra land in a view to help fight the spread of the virus.

He said: 

“We never knew that the virus is coming, we have commitments all over the world, we are committing initial N50 million to make sure we educate and prepare our people for what is to come.

“We will establish one hospital in every state of Biafra including Edo State. We are going to open food store for the people. If you are to confine the people at home, you must make sure they don’t die of hunger. We are even going to feed those who are not IPOB members. This is what advanced countries are doing for their people.”

He appealed to the governors and private companies to ensure prompt payment of their workers’ salaries throughout the pandemic period and also disclosed how worried he is for Africa and humanity but his primary concern is for the people of Biafra.

He advised the people to halt all non-essential travel, abide by all directives, and take precautionary measures to ensure they survived the scourge.

The IPOB leader said that the virus has actually exposed leaders of the federal government of Nigeria to all the years of looting and deceiving its people.

“We do not have the hospitals that can sustain the pandemic. The outbreak of the disease has put Nigeria to shame. All these years of looting, telling people lies of building hospitals has exposed the government insincerity.”
