The Member representing Umuahia Central State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Chinasa Anthony, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider a political solution and grant freedom to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Hon. Abiola appealed during an exclusive interview on ABN TV’s Political Perspective, where he insisted that Kanu’s continued incarceration has caused emotional pain to his family and constituents.

According to the lawmaker, his position is not only based on representation but also on personal and communal ties to the detained agitator.

“I speak for Abians in their entirety. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is in my constituency. He is my own direct brother. If I have no other right, I should speak on his behalf,” he said.

Hon. Abiola, a lawyer, argued that Kanu’s agitation is driven by a vision rather than criminal intent.

“To my best knowledge, he is pursuing a vision. Biafra is a dream, and I don’t think he should be punished for keeping a vision alive. He is a Nigerian and deserves his freedom,” he stated.

He urged President Tinubu, whom he described as “a man of conscience,” to use his office to bring closure to the long-running case.

“My prayer and plea to the President is to use political strength to grant him freedom. He deserves to be with his family, with his wife. This man has been in one place for several years,” he added.

Responding to questions on whether he has been in contact with Kanu’s family since the recent conviction and transfer to Sokoto prison, Hon. Abiola confirmed that he has maintained regular communication.

“I have reached out to the family. They are mine as well. Anything that affects him affects me. I may not have been able to go to Sokoto prison yet, but I will try to,” he said.

The lawmaker also noted that the people of Umuahia and the wider South-East have already expressed their stance through peaceful democratic means.

“Protest is not only when people go to the streets. We have issued statements, spoken through the media, and lent our voices. Our message is clear: Mr. President should please grant Nnamdi Kanu freedom,” he stated.

Speaking on political criticisms and public commentary, Hon. Abiola maintained that he remains focused on the essentials.

“There will always be things people talk about, but our eyes are on the ball. We pay attention only to progressive criticism and ignore distractions,” he said.

Hon. Abiola’s call adds to the growing voices urging the Federal Government to pursue a political solution to Kanu’s incarceration, which has remained a major issue in the South-East.

NK should be released to go home

We all know Tinubu will release him in the coming months to get sympathy votes from the East. As it is now, tinubu knows only Yorubas cannot make him president for his second tenure. He knows the north are seriously against him. The south and east belongs to Obi. Release NK might make tinubu their new hero

For your pocket mtcheww

Biafra is Nigeria nightmare... The country prefer the country remains like this or even get worse as far as Biafra won't happen.

No good one.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Even the Nigerian government know that Nnamdi Kanu did nothing wrong to deserve that life sentence. But you guys should understand this simple truth that Igbo greedy politicians contributes, even the major contributors to Nnamdi Kanu trials

Why the hurry?
Hon. please be calming down

I don't know why the government isn't doing anything about this ter*orist sympathizers. Even though many of them are playing politics with their support for him, this nonsense shouldn't be allowed to go on for long. This is a man who has made life miserable for an average Igbo person in the East. You can't disagree with him and expect your life to be spared (except God wills otherwise). Tens of thousands of people have been killed on his instructions.

Now that he is behind bars like he so deserves, anyone lending their voice for his release or in support of him is an enemy of humanity. This is like expectorating on the faces of those affected by his display of mardness in the name of freeing his people...And I sincerely pray that the monsters he has created visit them and their families soon.

I agree. A great Injustice was done against him

Mazi Nnamdi should understand the task Ahead of him before he ventured into freedom fighting,and i am sure he do understood.

It wasn't gonna be easy, because nothing good comes easy.

Let him not faint in heart,
May he found strength and remain strong

Na nao una dey wake up abi ?

The truth is that FG would not release that man and the reason is simple

He commands cult followership and respect of the masses giving him a kingmaker status in the whole of the south east.

He can single handled dictate who should be a governor house of rep or senator in the whole of the south east and the ruling elites in the south east fear this

So these people would go to the back down and ensure his continually imprisonment

Terror1st sympathizers everywhere! Very easy for them to call others tribal!st. They are always emotional and think alike. What's the difference between Kanu and Gumi? Kanu's tribesmen and those supporting bandits

Mr Lawmaker, you don't know law.

Tale of 2 Masters and Ice

MNK is a political prisoner. If Nigeria is working, there won't be need for Agitation by ipob.

The election is pre rigged. No one can upset the incumbent imminent victory.

It's high time the federal government harkens unto the voice of Abians and Eastern brothers.
Release their son back to them.

These Ibo men don’t know law

Honestly..... Jagaban does not need South East votes to win reelection.

The North will vote for the man with 4 years left to rule than to vote for someone that will be there for 8 years

what are you trying to say

He will be in prison just like mazi Simon ekpa is... If you like cry from now till next yr, if you want to release him do same to ekpa too, they both committed same crime.. so why should one be freed and the other left to rot in prison ?

Seriously...
Ife n'achọ i mebi ooh!
Ndia aghọtarọ ife n'eme n'oge a!
I need this man out of jail for peace here!
