Release Nnamdi Kanu As Christmas Gift To S’East, HURIWA Urges Buhari

“I have listened carefully to the various appeals from the elders to the traditional leaders regarding a wide range of options and as I have said previously, this matter remains in the full purview of the court where it will be properly ad­judicated,” Buhari had promised.

However, about 18 months since his unwarranted detention at the DSS custody in Abuja, the IPOB leader has not tasted free­dom despite the judgement of the Appeal Court granting him freedom and awarding billions of naira as damages against the Federal Government for his ex­traordinary rendition from Ken­ya mid-2021.

At the moment, the major presidential candidates for the 2023 general elections including Labour Party’s Peter Obi, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party have opined that they would ex­plore dialogue to end secessionist agitations in the South-East and restore the economy of the Igbo people which has been marred with untold violence and activi­ties of unknown gunmen.

Commenting, HURIWA’s On­wubiko said, “As though a norm, all the major presidential can­didates for the 2023 presidential election have adopted negotiat­ed settlement to end agitations by IPOB and other secessionist groups like that of Yoruba Na­tion agitator, Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho.
