Nnamdi Kanu, the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has demanded a referendum or unilateral declaration of Biafran sovereignty during a speech at the 2026 convention of the American Veterans of Igbo Descent in the United States. Kanu, who has been in detention since 2005, reiterated his stance that there is no middle ground and that he will not negotiate the existence of his people or bargain their homeland away.
He emphasized that the goal of a peaceful Biafran homeland is non-negotiable and that he will not engage in discussions about appointments, restructuring, or other matters. Kanu also praised AVID and its leader, Dr. Sylvester Onyia, for their unwavering support during his trial and urged them to continue advocating for his release and the release of other unjustly imprisoned Biafrans.
