The IPOB leader has been in detention since he was repatriated to Nigeria from Kenya in June 2021 under controversial circumstances. He is being prosecuted for alleged terrorism by the Nigerian government at a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Kalu made the appeal on Wednesday while briefing journalists after the inaugural meeting of the House of Representatives committee on South-East Development Commission (SEDC) at the National Assembly complex in Abuja.

“We are appealing to him to temper justice with mercy and release Nnamdi Kanu to southeast people. It will ensure more security for our people and spring up development that this SEDC is going to bring,” he stated.

“We noticed that the insecurity there will be reduced if Nnamdi Kanu is released. We want Nnamdi Kanu to be released because we know it will give our people more security.”

He noted that President Tinubu has proven his love for the South-Easterners through his speedy assent to the South East Development Commission Bill which failed in previous assemblies.

Kalu also suggested the adoption of political approach in resolving the crisis in the region rather than the current legal option, adding that the people of the region will be eternally grateful to the President if that becomes a reality.

“Those who are using him as excuses to perpetrate all these criminal actions around our area will have no other reason to be on the street. Then the police and security agencies will catch anyone who claims Nnamdi Kanu is the reason for causing harm to the people of South-East.

“So, we are begging, you can’t coarse the President, he’s the Commander in Chief. All we are saying is use political approach not the legal approach,” he stated.

His brothers already declared death to all terrorists, either in Nigeria or Hamas and Kanu being the top terrorist in Souther Nigeria and having caused his home region so much agony over a such a long period of time, he deserves no mercy

But of course you will ‘like’ Benjamin Kalu….he’s a ‘obedient house-nigger’ always prepared to stoop low and kiss the bloodstained feet of his Yoruba and Fulani hegemonic masters in the hopes they will consider his efulefu ass when they throw their usual crumbs to Ndigbo! No surprises here! He’s probably hoping they will consider him for VP at some point so the proud, self-important asshole can swan around with his chest puffed out, bragging he’s the ‘2nd on the protocol list’ after the president! The idiot is disgraceful! Why make such a daft statement when Mazi Kanu is innocent and up till now his evil hegemonic traducers can’t find anything to nail him with!? Is the Benjamin fool not aware Mazi Kanu has been freed by a competent Nigerian court of law and told he can go home, yet the oppressive and bigoted Tinubu gov’t is still holding on to him!?

His pathetic and self-serving ilk are the type of Igbo you ‘owners of Nigeria’ like, as he doesn’t rock the boat or try to dismantle your hegemonic control of Nigeria the way the esteemed likes of Mazi Kanu is doing! I bet you saw the useless thread title and immediately reached for your tub of Vaseline for another wan’king session!
