Ohanaeze Ndigbo to FG: “Nnamdi Kanu should be released urgently”

The apex Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has called on the Federal Government to urgently release Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has been in the detention of the Department of State Security, since his arrest in October.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo arrived at the decision to demand for his release, on Sunday, after an Imeobi (highest decision organ) meeting in Enugu.

The directive was contained in a communique jointly signed by the National President of Ohanaeze, Chief Gary Enwo-Igariwey and the Secretary General, Dr. Joe Nworgu.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organization of Ndigbo in Nigeria and the Diaspora, is gravely concerned by current wide-spread and public Biafra agitations in states of the South-East and some other states of Nigeria.

“These agitations and public protests have become exacerbated by the detention of Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, the promoter/proprietor/director of Radio Biafra by Department of State Services, DSS.”

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo fears that these developments may threaten the security and peaceful co-existence of Nigerians wherever they may be domiciled, and consequently, decided to summon an emergency meeting of Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo to discuss the situation.

“This emergency meeting was held in Enugu at the National Secretariat of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Sunday, (yesterday), November 29, 2015. Representatives of the various organizations and associations involved in the current public protest also attended the meeting.

“The Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo, after extensive candid discussions and analysis of the situation is of the view that the current agitations are the direct result of the excruciating pain of severe injustice, marginalization and exclusion of Ndigbo from decision making structures in Nigeria as currently configured.

“The Imeobi Ohanaeze Ndigbo strongly avers that the exclusion of Ndigbo in decision making structure presents danger to the unity and well-being of the country, not only now, but also in future, and should be redressed urgently.

  1. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND EXPRSSINGLY MORE HONOURABLE WHEN LEADERS COME TO TERMS WITH THE YARNINGS OF THE KINGDOM WHERE POWER AND AUTHORITY IS DELIGATED TO THEM-BEACAUSE IN THE FIRST PLACE THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY KING IF THERE IS NO KINGDOM-SO THE VIEWS OF THE KINGDOM SHOULD COME FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
