Former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore on Friday met with ex-President Goodluck Jonathan to discuss the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Sowore said Jonathan admitted the need to urgently and decisively address the issue of Kanu’s continued detention.
Posting on X, Sowore disclosed that Jonathan promised to meet President Bola Tinubu over Kanu’s detention.
He wrote: “Earlier today in Abuja, I met with former President @GEJonathan to discuss the continued incarceration of Mazi @NnamdiKanu.
“President Jonathan agreed that there is an urgent and compelling need to address this matter decisively and justly. I thank him sincerely for recognizing the importance of resolving Kanu’s case in the interest of peace, fairness, and national healing.
“Particularly assuring was that he promised to meet @officialabat to discuss this issue as soon as possible.
“With this, former President Jonathan joins a growing list of Nigerians who have called for justice in Nnamdi Kanu’s case, a list that already includes ex Vice President @atiku, Femi Falana SAN, Senator @ShehuSani , and many others across political and regional divides.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains in detention today because he took up the just cause of confronting the long-standing issue of marginalization in Nigeria.
“Like other ethnic and regional activists whose politically motivated cases have been withdrawn or dismissed, Nnamdi Kanu should also be released without further delay.”
