Ohanaeze Ndigbo Reveals What Southeast Governors Is Allegedly Planning Against Nnamdi Kanu; See Details
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo-socio cultural group, has has accused South-east governors, Igbo leaders, and National Assembly members of conspiring to extend the detention of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, until 2027.
According to a statement issued by the factional Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the organization blamed the South-east governors for the deteriorating security situation in the zone.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated that the Southeast governors and certain Igbo leaders had not provided the essential assurances required to explore political resolutions for the release of Kanu.
The organisation expressed disappointment that certain South- east governors and Igbo leaders merely took photos with Kanu at the DSS facility rather than actively seeking political solutions for his release.
The statement partly read, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo decries and brings to light the plots by South-east governors, Igbo elders, and National Assembly members to prolong Nnamdi Kanu’s detention until 2027.
“The failure of some South-east governors to utilise their political ties to advocate for Kanu’ s release is regrettable and underscores self- interest over communal welfare”
Meanwhile, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been appealed to by the leader of the ljaw nation, Edwin Clark, to direct the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, to file a nolle prosequi for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Clark urged President Tinubu to ask the Attorney General of the Federation to file a nolle prosequi to release the detained IPOB leader, noting that his (Kanu’s) freedom on political grounds was long overdue
This was contained in a second letter to the President on Sunday, following a first in which the elder statesman urged the President not to tow the path of his predecessor, President Muhammadu Buhari, who marginalised and subjugated the Igbos, by exempting them from certain appointments.
In his letter, Edwin Clark said the move would complete the reconciliation of Nigeria and end the sit-at-home order in the Southeast.
