The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has called on the President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a Christmas gift to Ndigbo.
Chief Iwuanyanwu made this
appeal in his Christmas message titled “Message of Faith in Divine Providence,”
expressing that the continued incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu does not signify
goodwill, peace, and unity for the country.
The President-General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo observed that the Supreme Court referring the case to a lower
court gives the impression that the Federal Government seems unconcerned or indifferent
to the insecurity situation in the South East.
He said that the Presidential
directive for Nnamdi Kanu’s release would reassure the Igbo speaking states in
Nigeria that Tinubu is a receptive leader who genuinely cares about the people.
Chief Iwuanyanwu called upon
the people of Igbo speaking states to consistently carry out their routine
duties in compliance with the laws of the areas they reside in. He appealed to
them to establish new resolutions upon returning home for Christmas, preparing to
confront the challenges of the upcoming year.
Wishing Ndigbo and Nigerians a
joyful Christmas and a prosperous New Year, Chief Iwuanyanwu expressed
confidence that the programs pursued by his leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo would
begin to yield results in the New Year.
The PG appealed to the Federal
and State governments to initiate people-oriented programs aimed at alleviating
the unbearable suffering in the country. He stressed the need for a focus on
capital-intensive projects that would create employment opportunities for the
large population of unemployed youths.
