A chieftain of Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization
has said the President-elect, Bola Tinubu can release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, during his inauguration.
Isiguzoro made the remark while backing Governor Charles
Soludo of Anambra State for urging Tinubu to release Kanu.
Soludo had said he would appeal to Tinubu to release the
IPOB leader if President Muhammadu Buhari failed to release him.
The Ohanaeze Secretary-General, said releasing Kanu was part
of its demands from Tinubu.
He urged Tinubu to ensure that Igbos are accommodated in his
incoming administration.
Speaking, Isiguzoro said: “It’s only Tinubu
that will release Nnamdi Kanu because he was once an activist during the NADECO
days.
“So, he understands the plight of political activism, so
Soludo’s appeal is the expectation of Ndigbo.
“On assuming power on May 29, Tinubu can release Nnamdi Kanu
from the Eagles Square, and we are going as an Igbo delegation to the
inauguration.
“Our two cardinal points and demands are clear, millions of
Igbos will storm Abuja on May 29 to ensure that Igbos are accommodated in
playing a leading role in Tinubu’s administration. He has what it takes to
bring the best brains in ensuring that his administration succeeds.
“The second request is that the millions of Igbos who will
be in Abuja for the inauguration and supporting the president will be looking
forward to jubilating when we hear him say in his inaugural speech that he has
granted presidential pardon to the leader of IPOB.
“The release of Nnamdi Kanu from the Eagles Square will turn
the sympathy they have for other presidential candidates towards Kanu.
“The release of Kanu from the Eagles Square will be a Sunami
that would sweep across the length and breadth of Nigeria and make his
government of the administration of the masses.”
