A Niger Delta-based group, the Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities (ANDUC), has given the Federal Government a 14-day ultimatum to release detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement signed by Isa Obiri, president and Wisdom Oteyi, secretary, the group threatened that failure by the Federal Government to heed to its call would exacerbate tension in the land and lead to unrest and public demonstrations.

The letter, addressed to President Bola Tinubu, read in par: “We are writing to you on behalf of the Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities and concerned citizens to urgently the release of our Igbo/Biafra brother and activist, Nnamdi Kanu, who is presently detained for peacefully advocating for the just distribution of natural resources in our regions.

“This man has not violated any laws and he’s simply exercising his rights to demand what rightly belongs to us.

“We urged the government to release this activist and engage in a dialogue to address his concerns, which are shared by many of us.


"Falling to release him may only exacerbate tension, potentially leading to unrest and public demonstrations. We sincerely believe that through dialogue and mutual understanding, a resolution can be achieved that benefits all parts involved.

“We respectfully urge the government to take the necessary steps to release Kanu within the next 14 days for the betterment of our regions and the nation as a whole.

“But your inability to release our leader, Kanu, will unravel what will shock the whole world. We the ANDUC will expose the high and the mighty.”

The group said it has faith in the leadership of President Tinubu, believing he would do the needful by releasing Kanu and by so doing, upholding justice and fairness.

It wasn't a show of shame when he won Lagos but PBAT and Atiku didn't get up to 2% of total votes in Anambra.. ethno-religious bigot sef dey talk.

Let everybody start voting along tribal lines like Igbos in South East and other parts of the country did in 2023 and see if you or any other Igbo man will ever become president.

Lobatan!!! NLC Strike Episode 2 loading.
We all saw this coming. After all, N62,000 is higher than N60,000. Isn't it?
Shebi it was National Grid they shut down before. This time around, dem go kuku disconnect all the electric poles join. Let's see how this movie would eventually play out.

On a more serious note, NLC should make more pressing demands beyond minimum wage that affects the entirety of the Nigerian population, not just the civil servants and salary earners. How about insisting on government tackling the inflation rates and high cost of living, price regulation of goods and services, reducing the electricity tariffs, creating enabling policies for business owners and ensuring the welfare of every Nigerian.

BigYash:
Is it not the same country? Once fg increases civil savants pay now,prices of things will increase. Landlord will increase rent.. So why are they not talking about the private sector workers like the teachers in private schools earning 25-30k in this economy.. Talk to me....

BERNIMOORE:
when the former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan announced a removal of the fuel subsidy in january2012, increasing the price from N65 to N141 per litre, Nigerians came out to the street in large numbers, protesting the increase until the price was reduced to N97 and later to N87.
From North to South to East to West, the streets were taken over by citizens protesting the hike and for once in a long time, we spoke with one voice

Pastor Tunde Bakare, and others recently served notice to the Federal Government of another round of mass protest in Lagos and other towns in the country, following the House of Representatives’ report on how over N1.7trn was looted by fuel marketers’and government agencies.

Similarly, Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, another leader of the group at a press conference urged Nigerians to get ready for another determined protest.

Jacobiceprince8:
Where is the "Save Nigeria Group" that protested against Jonathan, when fuel was N65. Why are they not protesting now?
Where is Wole Soyinka? Where is Tunde Bakare, Femi Falana? Are they silent because their Thiefnnubu is president?

See, the SW is the bane of Nigeria. Nigeria is sick today because of yoruba dirty and dishonest politics. This is the truth.
