WIC said history would document Tinubu’s decision to release the IPOB leader who has been incarcerated since June 2021.
President Bola Tinubu has been urged to politically release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The call was made by the World Igbo Congress, WIC.
WIC said history would document Tinubu’s decision to release the IPOB leader who has been incarcerated since June 2021.
In a statement by its Chairman, Festus Okere and Secretary-General, Chris Ogara; WIC also acknowledged the recent, significant meeting of the Southeast governors, with distinguished personalities, including the Obi of Onitsha, over Kanu’s continued detention.
The statement reads: “Among their unanimous decisions made public is their resolve to meet President
Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering release of our kinsman, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which is justifiably overdue.
“World Igbo Congress is itching to hear the outcome of their agreed meeting. Time is the soul of the world. A prolonged inaction destroys peoples’ hope. Let actions speak louder than voice.
“WIC stands firmly with our governors in this overly concerned matter. We also recognize and salute all persons who have continued, in numerous documented occasions, to support the call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
“WIC, again, urges President Tinubu to politically release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. History remains a true account of the past.”
