Release Nnamdi Kanu As “Parting Gift” To Ndigbo- Iwanyanwu

Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, president-general of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to grant Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), an unconditional release.

Iwuanyanwu spoke at Oguta LGA in Imo state on Thursday during the flag-off ceremony of the Oguta/Orashi dredging project.

He said Igbos have no intention of seceding, adding that an average Igbo person is agitating for “a fair share of what is due for them”.

“Igbo is happy. Igbos are industrious and non-violent. We thank the president for the dredging of Oguta/Orashi river. It will open up economic opportunities for both Imo and Nigeria,” he said.

“I want to also appeal to the president to actualize the release of Nnamdi Kanu, as part of his parting gift to Ndigbo, now that his tenure is coming to an end on May 29.

“Contrary to what Nigerians think, Igbos have no intention to secede. We are major stakeholders in Nigeria’s economy and Nigeria is the only country we can all call our own.”
