The World Igbo Congress (WIC), has commended South East Governors and Igbo leaders over their spirited efforts in the recent times towards the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
WIC in a statement by its Chairman, Dr Festus Okere; and Secretary, Sir Chris Ogara, described the efforts as laudable, and urged them to sustain the tempo until the IPOB Leader eventually regains his freedom.
The pro Igbo body which reiterated its call for Kanu’s unconditional release, declared its support with the position of the Governors.
The statement made available to Ikengaonline through Kanu’s lead lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, read:”WIC acknowledges the recent, significant meeting of the South East Governors, with distinguished personalities, including our revered Agbogidi, HRM, Obi of Onitsha, who has stood up when it matters most.
“Among their unanimous decisions made public is their resolve to meet President Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering release of our kinsman, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which is justifiably
overdue.
“World Igbo Congress is itching to hear the outcome of their agreed meeting. Time is the soul of the world. A prolonged inaction destroys peoples’ hope. Let actions speak louder than voice.
“WIC stands firmly with our governors in this overly concerned matter. We also recognize and salute all persons who have continued, in numerous documented occasions, to support the call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
“WIC, again, urges President Tinubu to politically release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. History remains a true account of the past.”
Kanu has remained in a solitary confinement at the Abuja headquarters of the Department of State Services, DSS, since his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in June 2021.
