The apex Igbo Sociocultural Organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the continuous detention of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement by the Deputy President General of the body, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze berated the south east governors for “playing the ostrich” and sluggishness in the release of the IPOB leader.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo stands resolute in condemning the intolerable stalemate surrounding the continued incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the esteemed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
“It is a stark reality that the inaction exhibited by the Southeast Governors can only be accurately described as ‘playing the ostrich’. This unwillingness to confront pressing issues has not only betrayed the trust of the Igbo people but has also become a disgraceful chapter in our collective history.
“In unequivocal terms, Ohanaeze Ndigbo demands that the Southeast Governors relinquish their avoidance tactics and sluggishness. The time has come for decisive leadership that reflects the pressing expectations and aspirations of our communities.
“Should they continue to ignore the pressing calls for action, they will inevitably face consequences at the ballot box come election time—a judgment that the electorate will pass based on their unwavering commitment to the people.”
