Primate Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has openly asked Buhari to set the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, free.
This is coming after it was reported that an Abuja high court denied Mazi bail over his failure to account for his whereabouts the first time he was granted freedom before he was re-arrested.
The clergyman made this known through a statement published by his media aide identified as Oluwatosin Osho which accuses Nigerian governors of “selling their ethnicity for nothing” as he claims Mazi is not against any government and he is suffering for what he does not know of.
He added that the igbos are no longer united and that is the cause of the agitations which he claims “will still create more problems” in the country.
The statement reads;
“Governor Soludo has taken a very good step by visiting him, this is what southern governors should have done for the sake of peace. Other governors are selling their ethnicity for nothing, the northerners will never do that.
“Kanu is not against any government, the government just doesn’t know how to handle his matter, his case doesn’t need jail, it’s a small thing. Kanu cannot be a terrorist, all is needed is dialogue.
“Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of unrest in South East, he should not be allowed to suffer for it. Igbo is already in Crisis, they are no longer in the political setting of Nigeria and this will still create more problems, these are the causes of agitations and unrest, not Nnamdi Kanu. The government should address the real issues because this unrest won’t stop until it is addressed,”
