Ekweremadu Rallies S/East Lawmakers To Secure Nnamdi Kanu’s Release

 


Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has rallied South-East lawmakers to secure the release of the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

Naija News reports that the President-General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council WorldwideOkwu Nnabuike, made this known in a statement on Monday.

Nnabuike appreciated Ekweremadu and the South East lawmakers for not abandoning Kanu to his fate and making moves to ensure his release from DSS custody.

He said Ekweremadu had shown a large heart with this move despite how IPOB members humiliated him in Germany.

He said: “We want to commend in a very special way the former Deputy Senate President, Chief Prof. Ike Ekweremadu for rallying his colleagues towards securing the freedom of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“It is a demonstration of a large heart, tolerance and forgiveness. We all remember what happened to the Senator, how he was given unfair treatment in Germany, but not minding that previous experience, he is again providing a leading role to see that Nnamdi Kanu is released.

The OYC president stated that only a political solution can secure Kanu’s freedom, urging IPOB not to escalate the tension in the South East with its sit-at-home orders.

He added: “At the moment, our economy, our education, our security are all in jeopardy. We fought a war for three years, used violence but it didn’t work, I don’t think violence will work this time.

“Now is the time for consultation, negotiation and dialogue. You can’t be killing the same people you are fighting for. To this end, we urge IPOB to stop whatever violence in Anambra State, since they have said they are not involved, they should fish out those smearing their name.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021.

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
