The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organisation has said the
release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), will
diminish the popularity of self-acclaimed Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa and the
Labour Party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Ohanaeze said Kanu’s release will consign Ekpa’s activities
in the Southeast to the “annals of history.”
A statement by the factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze,
Isiguzoro Okechukwu, said the release of Kanu would have significant
implications for the political landscape in the Southeast.
The statement reads: “It has come to our attention that
certain mischievous Igbo political elites and deviant opportunists are
attempting to take undue credit for Nnamdi Kanu’s potential release.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges President Tinubu not to entertain any
visits or demands from these individuals, as the credit for Kanu’s release
should solely be attributed to him.
“We emphasise that the effects of Nnamdi Kanu’s release will
gradually diminish the rising popularity of both Peter Obi and Simon Ekpa in
the Southeast.
“Additionally, from a security perspective, Ekpa’s disruptive
activities and terrorist tendencies in the Southeast will be consigned to the
annals of history.”
Ohanaeze urges President Bola Tinubu to remain resolute in
his decision-making process regarding Kanu’s release.
“We assure him that the Igbo nation stands behind him, and
we trust that he will handle this matter with utmost care and consideration,”
he added.
