The leadership of the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has commended the efforts made so far by the member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South federal constituency, Rt Hon Obi Aguocha to ensure the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from incarceration.
The youths, in statement made available to newsmen in Enugu by the National Publicity Secretary of the Apex Igbo youths worldwide, Mazi Chika Art Adiele, also lauded the lawmaker for mobilizing 50 other members of the House of Representatives across the country to move for the release of the IPOB leader.
According to the statement, “It is heartwarming and great joy to Igbo Youths to receive a cheering news from the distinguished member of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha, who is mobilizing over 50 very distinguished patriotic members of the federal House of Representatives to make an appeal to Mr President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to release our dear brother and son, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu .
“Igbo youths are highly elated over the audacious move by Hon Aguocha in leading his colleagues to appealing to Mr President to set free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for equity, justice and fairness”
The Ohanaeze youths however, berated some leaders in the South-East for what they termed “their uncooperative disposition towards the release of our son”, noting that it is their collective identity that was on trial.
“It is imperative to remind them that silence in the face of injustice anywhere is a threat to Justice everywhere and as a people we are taking notes and hopefully posterity will bear witness to our collective quest to bringing lasting peace, development and sustainable security in Ala Igbo”, the statement read.
