FINALLY! GOODNEWS For Nnamdi Kanu As Tinubu Receives Request To Release Him; SEE What Elder Statesman Announced
In a recent open letter, Edwin Clark, the convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), urged President Bola Tinubu to direct Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi to drop all charges against Nnarndi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Clark emphasized that Kanu’s release would foster national unity and address the grievances of the southeastern region.
Clark’s appeal is rooted in a broader context of Nigeria’s current socio economic challenges and historical injustices. He highlighted that while he does not support IPOB’s activities, he recognizes the deep-seated issues affecting the country, including failing institutions, economic hardship, and systemic inequalities. Clark argued that these issues have fueled discontent and unrest, particularly in the southeast, where Kanu’s imprisonment has exacerbated tensions.
In his letter, Clark drew a parallel between Kanu’s case and that of Abdullahi Bodejo, the president of Miyetti Allah, who was released on similar grounds. He called for a similar act of clemency, suggesting that such a gesture from President Tinubu would demonstrate a commitment to national reconciliation and justice. The elder statesman noted that Kanu’s release would help end the disruptive Monday sit-at- home protests in the southeast and contribute to restoring peace and stability across Nigeria.
Clark’s plea aligns with calls from other prominent figures and groups. For instance, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, a chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, also urged President Tinubu to drop the treason and terrorism charges against Kanu, emphasizing the need for parity under the law. Isiguzoro pointed out that dropping the charges would signify a moral reckoning and a crucial step towards healing and unity in Nigeria. He stressed that consistency and equality before the law are non- negotiable in a democratic society.
Similarly, Hon. Obinna Ichita, the Country Director of the German Initiative for Knowledge Transfer in Nigeria, echoed these sentiments, calling for the release of all political agitators, including Kanu. Ichita emphasized that such actions would align with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and promote justice, reconciliation, and national unity The federal government’ s starice on Kanu’s case has been a subject of intense debate. Attorney-General Lateef Fagbemi has maintained that only the courts can decide Kanu’s fate, highlighting the legal complexities surrounding the charges against him. However, advocates for Kanu’s release argue that executive intervention is both necessary and justified to address broader socio-political issues and ensure equal treatment under the law.
Edwin Clark’s call to action underscores a critical juncture in Nigeria’ s pursuit of peace and unity. As the nation grapples with its challenges, the potential release of Nnamdi Kanu is seen by many as a step towards addressing historical grievances and fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, President Tinubu’s response to this call will likely have significant implications for Nigeria’ s future trajectory, particularly in terms of national cohesion and stability. = The Cable The Nation Edwin Clark to Tinubu:
