Fani-Kayode, a former aviation minister, has written an emotional letter to
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following
the siege on his home.
To the Lion
of the East, my friend, and brother Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I have the following to
say. They attacked your home and raided your community with their soldiers.
They sought to crush your body, spirit, and soul, to break you and to kill the
gallant and fighting spirit of your people.

They forgot
that the application and unleashing of fire cannot put out fire: it only adds
to the rage of the inferno and causes it to spread and develop into a massive
and uncontrollable conflagration which will ultimately consume the entire
nation.
   Despite the provocation and the brazen
attempt to intimidate you and yours I urge you to be encouraged, to remain true
to your noble convictions, to stand firm, to stay strong, to remain peaceful
and to continue to reject the idea of an armed struggle knowing that you
represent the hope and aspiration of millions.
   This is all the more so because the entire
world is watching. Our victory will not come by the levying war, the shedding
of blood or by the usage and espousal of violence and armed conflict but rather
through the painful veil and fiery furnace of suffering, passive resistance,
self-denial, dedication, persecution, and sacrifice.
   Those that seek to oppress and subjugate
the righteous, that seek to enslave their fellow human beings in perpetuity,
that seek to destroy, torment and humiliate others, that seek to deny the sons
and daughters of our land the right to fully exercise their God-given liberty
and freedom and that rule by the force of tyranny, injustice and the shedding
of blood never end well and shall not prevail. In truth, there is no greater
crime than to unleash a nation’s Armed Forces against its own people in an
attempt to stamp out free speech, silence opposing voices and eliminate
dissent.
   It happened to the Shiite Muslims of Zaria
where one thousand innocent souls were butchered in one afternoon at the behest
of military commanders simply for being different and now it is happening to
the good people of the east. Yet the light of truth and the struggle for
liberation, justice and equity can never be diminished or defeated.
   In the end the will of the people and the
counsel and purpose of God shall stand. No matter the price and no matter how
long it takes, in the end we shall prevail. The Lord be with you.
