The family of the detained
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has pleaded
with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to honour and immortalize the late President
General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, by releasing Kanu.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu in a
passionate appeal on behalf of the family, urged President Tinubu to cash into
the current judicial reality in Kanu’s trial to grant the IPOB Leader freedom
as was granted to the Leader of Yoruba self-determination group, Sunday Igboho.
The family’s pleas in the
statement said:” The current judicial reality of the case has thrown up the
opportunity for political dialogue and solution for the release of MNK and the
South East political leaders must seize the moment and take advantage of it.
“We request the President to be
fair and apply the same universal justice, fairness that was applied to freeing
Sunday Igboho who is his tribesman.
“We pray for the happy repose
of the soul of the late Ohaneze President General, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu,
and ask the President and SE Governors to show respect to the late Igbo leader
by releasing MNK.
Kanu’s family decried the
manifest exclusion of Ndigbo from the scheme of things despite being one of the
three major tribes and tripods upon which Nigeria stands.
