Ohanaeze Ndigbo Request For A Meeting With Tinubu Regarding Nnamdi Kanu

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has disclosed its intention to meet with President Bola Tinubu to advocate for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the president of Ohanaeze, made this statement on Saturday during a courtesy visit to the leadership of the Supreme Council of Nigeria Traditional Rulers, Southeast chapter led by the President, HRM Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna of Abia state at his Glass House, Oriji-Owerri office complex.

Iwuanyanwu said that some persons are using Kanu’s name and his incarceration to perpetrate crimes in the region, stressing they are only after their selfish interest.

“Your request and solidarity visit have reinvigorated my leadership intention to see President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on issues concerning the Igbo ethnic group, more especially the need to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. His continual detention is escalating insecurity in the southeast.

“After he’s released, let us now see any person or group that will be instigating insecurity or crisis in Igboland using his name or detention.”

“Some people and groups are illegally feasting on his popularity and detention just to cause unnecessary trouble and problems in the entire southeast and for their selfish interests. There must be peace and stability in Igboland.

“Immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will restore sanity,” he said.

Kanyi Daily recalls that a constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), had expressed fear over the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
