\u201cMazi Nnamdi Kanu is our cherished son, whose continued incarceration has caused deep emotional distress to his immediate family and to our people at large\u201d, the press release said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn a final note, we call on the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR to listen to our plea today and extend a hand of love to us by releasing Maxi Nnamdi Kenneth Okwu-Kanu\u201d, they pleaded.<\/p>\n

The Etitinabu Na Ndagbo people promised that Nnamdi Kanu if released unconditionally will continue to conduct himself as a law-abiding citizen, adding that his freedom will help in stability of the South-East.<\/p>\n
