Newly appointed President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu has revealed plans to secure the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking shortly after the highest decision taking body of the apex Igbo sociopolitical organization, Imeobi ratified his new position, Iwuanyanwu said that he will make a special appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to release Kanu before the end of his tenure.
He said: “The security situation in Southeast is very disturbing and I believe that there is very urgent need for a peace summit in Igboland. I will therefore make a special appeal to President Mohammadu Buhari to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before the expiration of his tenure in office.
“Nnamdi Kanu is very crucial for any key discussion and it is not possible to negotiate any peace while Nnamdi Kanu is in prison. It is also important to note that the judiciary has discharged and freed Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It will be the joy of many Igbo people and Nigerians to see Mazi Nnamdi Kalu released from detention.
“There is also a report that his health is deteriorating. I feel it is important that he is released to have access to his medical doctors so that he does not die in the prison”. Iwuanyanwu noted.
