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 consumme 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.
