Kanu held court in the palace as he addressed a crowd of IPOB supporters who he had called to meet him there.
He said: “Yesterday, I asked Darlington to send a message to say that I want to see IPOBs here today, not too many of you I said but look at what came out.”
“Are we ready for freedom?!”, he asked, to which there was a reverberating “Yes!” from the gathered crowd.
“Because we are not going back, until the zoo agrees on a date for referendum, there will be no election here anymore.

“This land must be set free, here we shall die, and here we shall be buried.
“Anybody that says Biafra will not come, that person will not be alive!”
