The family of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has accused Southeast governors of thwarting the release of the pro-Biafra agitator.
According to Prince Emmanuel, Kanu’s brother, Southeast governors should emulate other zones who worked for their freedom fighters.
In a statement he signed, Emmanuel accused Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court Abuja of being a stumbling block to Kanu’s freedom.
What They’re Saying
The statement released reads partly:
“South East Governors, why are you stopping the freedom of your own son? To what benefit is it to keep your son perpetually incarcerated?“Why can’t the SE Governors take a cue from other zones who collectively worked for the freedom of their freedom fighters? South-East Governors, what are you afraid of?
“Governor Hope Uzodinma you’re the chairman of the SE Governors Forum and by extension the political rallying point of the South East Political leaders therefore, what is stopping you from showing leadership and leading from the front to go release your brother?
“Our candid view on the 24th of September court proceedings is that both Binta Nyako and Morgaji Bichi acted as obstacles, not only undermining Nigeria with their rigid stances but also creating significant embarrassment for the current administration that inherited these issues.
“Those opposed to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release are inadvertently suggesting to the international community that this administration is ineffective.”
