Nnamdi Kanu has revealed the only thing he wants from the Buhari government.
Newsone Nigeria reports that Kanu, who is the director of Radio Biafra and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is agitating for the Republic of Biafra. His group, the IPOB which is also seeking to break away from Nigeria had since been proscribed by the Federal Government.
The IPOB leader quoted a report with the headline: “Senate begins constitutional amendment, calls for memoranda” published by a Nigerian online news platform and stressed in a tweet on the micro-blogging site, Twitter, that the only thing he wants from the Nigerian government is a “referendum on Biafra“.
According to the report, the Nigerian Senate commenced the process of amending the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), requesting for memoranda and proposals from Nigerians and interest groups on Thursday. The development was contained in a statement by the Deputy President of the Senate and chairman Ad-hoc committee on the review, Ovie Omo-Agege on Thursday.
