Tinubu Set To Release Nnamdi Kanu – Bianca Ojukwu
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has confirmed that President Bola Tinubu is set to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
This announcement was made during the 13th memorial anniversary of the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in Owerri on Tuesday.
Ambassador Ojukwu highlighted that President Tinubu understands the significance of Kanu’s release, believing it will help expose criminal elements who are using IPOB as a cover to incite violence in the Southeast. She expressed her commitment to ensuring the release takes place, stating, “President Tinubu understands the importance of Kanu’s release. It will expose the masqueraders behind the violence and help restore order. I will do whatever it takes to ensure His Excellency grants this request.”
She further emphasized that the release of Nnamdi Kanu is crucial in distinguishing between genuine freedom fighters and those responsible for the unrest in the region. “The release of Nnamdi Kanu is essential to distinguishing genuine freedom fighters from criminals causing mayhem in the Southeast,” Ojukwu said.
The ambassador also pointed out that the Igbo people are known for their unity and peaceful nature, urging a collective effort to eliminate criminality and insecurity from the region. She condemned the violent “sit-at-home” orders imposed in the Southeast, arguing that they undermine the principles of self-determination and disrupt economic activities in the area.
“Ndigbo are enterprising and their brother’s keepers. We must reclaim our land and continue to promote the ideals for which Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu stood,” she stated.
