“Release,dialogue with him,he violated no law”
The Niger Delta Group going under the aegis of Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities has given the Federal Government of Nigeria led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in fourteen days or face unforeseen consequences.
The group in the said letter averred that it has faith in the leadership of President Tinubu to do the needful.
In a statement signed by Isa Obiri, its President and Wisdom Oteyi, the secretary, the group threatened that if the Federal Government fails to heed to its call,it would exacerbate tension in the land and lead to unrest and public demonstrations.
The group’s letter, addressed to President Tinubu, reads in part: “We are writing to you on behalf of the Association of Niger Delta Upland Communities and concerned citizens to urgently release our Igbo/Biafra brother and activist, Nnamdi Kanu, who is presently detained for peacefully advocating for the just distribution of natural resources in our regions.
“This man has not violated any laws and he’s simply exercising his rights to demand what rightly belongs to us.
“We urged the government to release this activist and engage in a dialogue with him to address his concerns, which are shared by many of us.
“Falling to release him may only exacerbate tension, potentially leading to unrest and public demonstrations. We sincerely believe that through dialogue and mutual understanding, a resolution can be achieved that benefits all parts involved.
“We respectfully urge the government to take the necessary steps to release Kanu within the next fourteen days for the betterment of our regions and the nation as a whole. “But your inability to release our leader, Kanu, will unravel what will shock the whole world. We,the ANDUC will expose the high and the mighty.”
The group said it has faith in the leadership of President Tinubu, believing he would do the needful by releasing Kanu and by so doing, upholding justice and fairness.
