₦airaland Forum

A United States-based group, the American Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) has called on the governors of the five South-east states to expedite action in finding a political solution to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

AVID made the call in an open letter addressed to Ndigbo concerning the travails of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who has been in detention for over three years.

The governors of the states of the South-east zone under the aegis of the South East Governors Forum(SEGF) had at their meeting in July at Enugu resolved to meet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to find a political solution to Kanu’s continued detention.

But five months down the line, the SEGF has continued to foot drag in fulfilling its promise, thereby pushing back Kanu’s freedom.

In the letter signed by AVID President, Dr. Sylvester Onyia and the Secretary, Dr. Godson Obiagwu, the group which has been at the vanguard of demanding justice for Kanu since his infamous rendition in June 20, 2021, intensified its clarion calls.

The military veterans stated that a political solution remains the only way of ending Kanu’s ordeal as “it has become crystal clear that the courts are incapable of dispensing justice or upholding the rule of law in this matter.

“It is time for all Ndigbo worldwide, individually and collectively, to strongly and publicly demand the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In particular, we call on all South-east leaders in elective positions at home and in

Abuja, especially the five South-east governors, to fulfill their several public promises and commitments to approach President Tinubu to seek the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“For this reason, we earnestly call on the South-east Governors Forum (SEGF) to, without further delay, meet with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on this matter,” AVID said.

AVID described Kanu’s continued detention “as a subterfuge for padding security votes for South-east which they directly benefit from.”

“We make bold to say that it is unconscionable for any true security chief driven by patriotism and respect for sanctity of human life to block the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, knowing fully well that a free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is critical to ending the insecurity in Southeast, once and for all.”

The veterans proposed an alternative should the SEGF “prove unwilling” to meet Tinubu, saying that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide prominent Igbo traditional rulers and religious leaders should take the lead.

AVID further proposed that Governor Alex Otti “should rise to the occasion and go lone-wolf in meeting with President Tinubu with only one request: release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before 25th December 2024.”

“We are suggesting this as the next best option because Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a native of Abia and thus deserving of all the protections and comfort he can get from his Governor,” the group said.

2 things that will never happen in this millennium.

1. Nnamdi Kanu out of zoo cage.

2. Pandora gringory obituary becoming Nigeria President.

I'm very sure.

MadamVanessa:



Don't worry, the Iragbiji drunk is already doing what he likes with Nigerians life. So Kanu's own can never be and will never be surprising. Kanu seems to have a far more better life in shackles than free Nigerians.

BiafranPatriot:
Sultanofpiglets really expose you sha...

E pain you well well

Ndimkpurummiri:
sultanofpiglets don chop ban

Ndimkpurummiri:

That is the greatest calamity to befall a man

BiafranPatriot:

BiafranPatriot:
So for your mind you think say

Mynd44..doesn't know?

Na now SEUN go take action on top of your matter.

You break rule 19 with reckless abandonment.


In another thread CDS Musa is crying that a foreign nation wants to establish a Military base in Nigeria and the Army won't allow it

You sure say BIAFRA never get alignment with a powerful Nation.

See fear everywhere.

Ndimkpurummiri:
same way you accuse Tinubu for sponsoring Simon Ekpa

trutharena:
Kanu will be released by Tinubu before Christmas.

flokii:
You people can keep pushing for Kanu's release o.. goodluck with that.
Should Kanu or any Igbo threaten Yoruba peace or incite violence in any part of Yorubaland going forward, Igbos should be prepared to leave South West.
We won't continue harboring enemies in our midst.. One Nigeria doesn't give any tribe the freedom to incite hate on another.

You claim you want biafra but the idi0ts representing you at NASS are silent, enjoying largesse of the Nigerian State with their other colleagues from different parts of the country.
You people should just try nonsene in Lagos or any part of South West and see what will happen
