MAZI NNAMDI KANU NARRATES HOW DAVE UMAHI PLANNED TO KILL HIM AFTER DEFYING HIS ORDER THAT EBONYI IS NOT BIAFRA LAND

When the Anambra state governor, Willie Obiano said I shouldn't come to Ekwulobia but I went and shut Ekwulobia down. Dave Umahi also said I shouldn't come to Ebonyi, I went to Ebonyi with the longest convoy in history, as I was entering Abakaliki, part of our convoy was still in Enugu. We broke the cordon, six military check points, I got down from my vehicle and went through all of them. I dared them to shot me. We went into Abakaliki and we shut Abakaliki down.

When we got in front of the government house, I asked my driver to stop, so that I can greet some of the people working for Dave Umahi to let them know that Ebonyi is BIAFRA. After our rally on my way out of Abakaliki, they stopped me again and ask me to turn around. And I told them it will not happen. We broke that very cordon too and we got home safely that very day. I went to Obigbo in Igweocha, we locked Igweocha down for six hours, there was no movement. Nyesom Wike did not ask army to kill me, he never tried to intimidate me or molest me. We rallied peacefully as we normally do and we went back home. We Ohaneze Ndigbo and Igbos governors came together and said this cannot continue, that Nnamdi Kanu is heating up the polity. They decided to kill me, it was these men that physically applied to Aso Rock to have me killed. They couldn't do it.
