Omoyele Sowore, a human rights activist and strong critic of the Muhammadu Buhari administration has said the Nigerian president must release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to Sowore, Buhari “has got no option at this point”.
Sowore was reacting to Friday’s visit of some Igbo leaders to Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
POLITICS NIGERIA had reported that a group under the aegis of Highly Respected Igbo Greats, led by First Republic parliamentarian and Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, met with President Buhari on Friday and pleaded with the Nigerian leader to intervene in Kanu’s matter so that he can regain freedom.
Some of the other people in the visiting delegation included Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former Governor of Anambra State; Bishop Sunday Onuoha of the Methodist Church; and Barrister Goddy Uwazurike, a former President of Igbo socio-cultural group Aka Ikenga.
“Muhammadu Buhari doesn’t understand the doctrine of Separation of Powers, He doesn’t believe in the Rule of Law, but he’s got no option at this point, he must #FreeNnamdiKanuNow!” Sowore wrote on his verified Facebook page.
