Ohanaeze blames S:East politicians for Kanu’s detention

The Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has urged the people of the South East and concerned Nigerians to hold South East politicians accountable for the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), rather than blaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement on Sunday in Abakiliki, Ebonyi State, Isiguzoro emphasized that President Tinubu should not be blamed. He highlighted that the necessary assurances of security and cooperation from South East leaders to facilitate Kanu’s release had not been provided.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls upon our fellow Igbo brethren and concerned Nigerians to direct their attention towards the South East governors rather than President Tinubu regarding the deteriorating security situation in the South East and the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. South-East governors and certain Igbo leaders have not provided the essential assurances required to explore political solutions for Kanu’s release,” Isiguzoro stated.

He condemned some regional leaders for allegedly exploiting Kanu’s detention for personal gains, political bargaining, and maintaining political relevance, which he believed was aimed at prolonging Kanu’s imprisonment for selfish interests ahead of the 2027 elections.
