Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The World Igbo Congress, WIC, has urged President Bola Tinubu to politically release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n

WIC said history would document Tinubu\u2019s decision to release the IPOB leader who has been incarcerated since June 2021.<\/p>\n

In a statement by its Chairman, Festus Okere and Secretary-General, Chris Ogara; WIC also acknowledged the recent, significant meeting of the Southeast governors, with<\/p>\n

distinguished personalities, including the Obi of Onitsha, over Kanu\u2019s continued detention.<\/p>\n

The statement reads: \u201cAmong their unanimous decisions made public is their resolve to meet President<\/p>\n

Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering release of our kinsman, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which is justifiably<\/p>\n

overdue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorld Igbo Congress is itching to hear the outcome of their agreed meeting. Time is the soul of the world. A prolonged inaction destroys peoples\u2019 hope. Let actions speak louder than voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWIC 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWIC, again, urges President Tinubu to politically release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. History remains a true account of the past.\u201d<\/p>\n
