Ohanaeze says it is Optimistic IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and will be Released In December

Ohanaeze Ndigbo says it is optimistic that the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will be released in December 2023.

According to the organization, President Tinubu has given his commitment to release the IPOB leader and declared support for his decision.

The organization in a statement by its Secretary General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, warned against any Ndigbo political elites and deviants claiming credit for the release when it would be announced.

It says the credit for the release of Kanu would be given to President Tinubu.

The organization says the release of Kanu would have significant implications for the political landscape of the South East Region, and reduce the soaring popularity of Peter Obi and Simon Ekpa.

We implore Ndigbo to exercise patience and understanding throughout this critical period.

We acknowledge the pain and hardship endured by the people of the South-East since Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration, and as custodians of our land, we assure you that positive outcomes are anticipated after the November 2023 Imo State governorship elections.

Then Ohanaeze said it was confident that Kanu’s release would “undoubtedly serve as a resounding surprise to the South-East people while appealing to Nigerians whom Kanu might have offended to embrace forgiveness and prioritize the greater interests of Nigeria.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo remains committed to working behind the scenes, rallying and mobilizing all relevant parties to achieve this crucial objective.

We humbly beseech Biafra agitators to remain calm and observe a ceasefire for 40 days.

This period of abstinence from offensive aggression will significantly contribute to ongoing negotiations and enhance the prospects of Kanu’s release.
