Stop Talking, Join March For Nnamdi Kanu’s Release, Sowore Tells South East Leaders

Says;We’ve Had Enough Rhetorics 

Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters and frontline human rights activist has called on political leaders in the South east to desist from playing to the gallery and stand up for real action in their purported demand for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Sowore, who was also the presidential candidate of Action Democratic Alliance in the 2023 election, in a post on his social media platform expressed disappointment with the way political leaders from the South East have trivialized their demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu with rhetorics without concrete, sincere and commensurate actions befitting  such national issue that has attracted global attention.

Sowore said, “I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause,” he declared. “I challenge every politician or person of conscience from the Southeast who says they want @MaziNnamdiKanu released to stop the rhetoric. Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa.”

Sowore called for every governor, senator, House member, traditional ruler, priest, eze, Igbo person, and every Nigerian who believes in justice to move beyond words and join him in a peaceful, lawful, and visible march to demand Kanu’s freedom.

“No more empty noise. Let Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Senator Enyi Abaribe, ALEX C OTTI, Mr. Peter Obi, and all others who claim to care about Kanu’s freedom, step up and join us in person. “We go together,  peacefully, legally, and visibly — to demand justice and an end to MNK’s persecution. Chikena! Jisie ike!” #FreeNnamdiKanuNow”.

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu was brought to Nigerians from Kenya by the Federal government in 2021, without following due process.

He was arraigned at the Federal High Court Abuja presided over by Hon Justice Binta Nyako.

He was initially arraigned on 15 count charge that border on treason, felony and sundry issues. The changes were later reduced to seven before a Court of Appeal discharged and acquitted him of the remaining changes. But since then the federal government has refused to set him free despite his deteriorating health condition that has been a cause for concern for some time now.
