TRUTH Is OUT! See DARK Secret Why Tinubu Refused To Release Nnamdi Kanu, That Shocked Igbo People
Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent figure in the Labour Party, attributes the prolonged detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to ethnic prejudice. Okonkwo expressed his views during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, drawing attention to the disparity in the treatment of Kanu compared to other separatists whose charges have been dismissed.
Okonkwo argued that Kanu has not committed more severe offenses than other separatists. He pointed out that figures like Sunday Igboho, a Yoruba nation agitator, and members of Boko Haram, who have advocated for separate states and in some cases, engaged in violent activities, have been released. Moreover, some Boko Haram members have been reintegrated into society and even given favorable positions.
” Nnamdi Kanu has not done anything worse than others from different regions, ” Okonkwo stated. ” We know about Sunday Igboho, who has agitated for a Yoruba nation, and Boko Haram members who desire a separate country where Western education is forbidden. These individuals have been released, and in the case of Boko Haram, they have been reassimilated into society and given prime jobs. ”
Okonkwo questioned why Kanu’ s situation is different, attributing it to ethnic bias. ” There is an ethnic and unnecessary bias keeping that man in jail, ” he said. He urged the government to release Kanu, whether conditionally or unconditionally. ” The government should be wise enough to release this man. You can release him conditionally or unconditionally, ” he added.
” As a lawyer, I have scrutinized the legal proceedings and noticed inconsistencies from the high court to the supreme court. Some courts have granted him bail, and others have dismissed all charges. The government has multiple legal grounds to release him and bring peace to the South- East, ” Okonkwo continued. He highlighted the legal discord surrounding Kanu’ s case, noting that various tiers of the judiciary have given differing rulings on his bail and charges.
In June, a significant number of lawmakers— 50 members of the House of Representatives— called on President Bola Tinubu to order Kanu’ s release. This appeal was part of a broader effort to address the ongoing unrest in the South- East and to respond to the concerns of the region’ s residents.
On Tuesday, the South- East Governors’ Forum also made a decisive move by resolving to meet with President Tinubu to seek Kanu’ s release. The governors’ decision underscores the regional consensus on the need to address Kanu’ s detention and its implications for peace and stability in the South- East.
The South- East region has witnessed a surge in violent activities, with gunmen enforcing a sit- at- home order on Mondays to demand Kanu’ s release. These actions have disrupted daily life and economic activities, exacerbating the region’ s instability.
Okonkwo’ s statements reflect a broader sentiment of frustration and injustice felt by many in the South- East. His call for Kanu’ s release is part of a growing chorus of voices urging the federal government to take action to resolve the situation. The hope is that a resolution can be found that will not only secure Kanu’ s release but also pave the way for greater peace and reconciliation in the region.
The unfolding situation places significant pressure on the federal government to address the underlying issues of ethnic bias and political marginalization that have fueled the current crisis. As the calls for Kanu’ s release grow louder, the government’ s response will be crucial in determining the future stability of the South- East and the broader Nigerian polity.
