Grant Nnamdi Kanu Pardon, Nigeria Needs Healing” - Reps Member Begs Tinubu by Metrix147(op): 7:04pm On Nov 20, 2025
A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Alex Mascot Ikwechegh, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to grant a presidential pardon to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing the move as necessary for national peace and unity.

In an open letter addressed to the President, Ikwechegh said Nigeria is currently facing rising insecurity, political tension, economic hardship, and declining international confidence, adding that only decisive leadership can restore calm.

According to him, killings, ethnic mistrust, and worsening divisions across the country have created a fragile national atmosphere that requires urgent reconciliation.

“This is a time to unite our country; this is a time to heal our nation,” he wrote.

The lawmaker noted that growing conversations globally about Nigeria’s instability are alarming, and warned that continued detention of Kanu is contributing significantly to unrest, particularly in the South-East.

Ikwechegh urged the President to consider clemency as a strategic step toward de-escalation.

“Clemency at this moment will not only quell security tension in the country, especially in the South-East, but will also draw his supporters closer to the leadership of the President,” he stated.

He further reminded the President of the sacrifices of Nigeria’s founding fathers, urging him to preserve unity and prevent the country from drifting into deeper crisis.

Describing President Tinubu as the only person capable of restoring stability, Ikwechegh emphasized that forgiveness and reconciliation would send a powerful message of leadership and national healing.

“Let us remember the labour of our heroes past. Let us keep this country united and commit ourselves to healing our land,” he added.

The SW president can keep it to himself and his people. The SE doesn't need it.The SE will never be at thr mercy. He has only 2027 to leave.All of us already in APc will disgrace him in 2027 after chopping his money.We are in coalition with the north. That region has always been SE worst enemy within

If any criminal deserves to be pardoned, certainly it's not Kanu! He is arrogant,cocky,unremorseful, and above all,very empty! He thinks he's feared — he will find out differently among his fellow inmates. The Adamus,and Ciromas of this world inside the highly militarised underground prison somewhere in Yola will teach him unforgettable lessons!
Re: Grant Nnamdi Kanu Pardon, Nigeria Needs Healing” - Reps Member Begs Tinubu by Sirjamo: 7:25pm On Nov 20, 2025
Kanu is not looking for amnesty. He said he didn't do anything. Let him come out to ask for forgiveness. He's neither deaf nor dumb.

All the people calling for his release are terrorists sympathisers. The dss should arrest them.

Somebody tell Alex Iwechegh that Nnamdi Kanu is not getting any pardon.
Re: Grant Nnamdi Kanu Pardon, Nigeria Needs Healing” - Reps Member Begs Tinubu by lilsmart(m): 7:43pm On Nov 20, 2025
The fairness of Nnamdi Kanu's judgment is questioned not because he is seen as blameless by all, but because the process appears politically motivated, illegal in its foundation, and applied with a clear double standard. The state's overwhelming focus on him, while seemingly turning a blind eye to the actions of other powerful individuals who have caused greater tangible harm to the Nigerian populace, creates a powerful and persistent perception of injustice and a two tiered legal system.

If clemency will help calm the South-East, fine. But we must also talk about the massacres happening in the North. Whole communities are being wiped out daily with no accountability. Nigeria cannot heal selectively.
