Ohanaeze Appeals To President Buhari To Release Nnamdi Kanu Before Leaving Office

-


 The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has once again called on President Muhammadu Buhari to release the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

The president of the apex Igbo socio-political group, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, made the call at the flag-off of the pre-dredging and hydrographic survey of the proposed sea access route of the Urashi-Oguta waterways through Degema to the Atlantic Ocean. 

While speaking at the ceremony which was attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Iwuanyawu said;

“Please, finally, our vice president, tell our brother and son, Buhari, that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo – the over 60 million Igbos – request that he should release Nnamdi Kanu''

According to him, President Buhari should do it “before he departs” office on May 29th, 2023, noting that the Igbo nation will be “very grateful” if that is done. He seized the opportunity to dismiss claims that the Igbos were eager to break away from Nigeria.

“Igbos are not seceding. I don’t see why anybody will say Igbos are seceding. Igbos are everywhere. We have investments. Are we going to leave our investments?” he asked

Chief Iwuanyanwu also lauded Buhari for his love for the South-East which is reflected in the number of Federal Government projects in the region.

“I would like the vice president, when you go, tell Buhari we are very grateful. When he took office we were not happy, we complained. But today, at the point of departure, things have changed. I can see that in most states a lot has been done. Here in Imo state, a lot has been done for us. So, I would like you to tell our son, Buhari, that we are very grateful. And I want Buhari to realize that he is an Igbo son, an honorary Igbo man.

He has been honoured by some Igbo states. I think Imo State has honoured him, and Ebonyi has honoured him. Chieftancy title in Igbo land is taken very seriously. You have to help us tell Buhari that he is an Igbo son, he is a member of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo by this honour given to him and what I am speaking here today, I am also speaking on his behalf.

We are very grateful for what he has done, but before he goes, whatever he can do to bring this project to succeed will be highly appreciated.” he said.

Nigeria is embarking on a bold journey to transform its energy landscape, and at the heart of this transformation is the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) . Established under the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021 , the MDGIF is now one of the most ambitious initiatives in Africa’s energy sector, designed to drive investment in gas infrastructure, reduce harmful gas flaring, and make energy more affordable for everyday Nigerians. Over the past year, the MDGIF has moved from a concept on paper to a funding powerhouse, supporting over 16 companies to develop gas-related projects that could reshape how Nigeria produces, transports, and uses energy. With a clear focus on infrastructure development, this initiative promises not only to reduce the country’s dependence on petrol but also to boost economic growth, create jobs, and cut energy costs for millions. A Vision Backed by Investment Gas is increasingly seen as the future of energy in Nigeria. The country h...
