Ohanaeze plans to meet Tinubu over Nnamdi Kanu – Iwuanyanwu.

Ohanaeze plans to meet Tinubu over Nnamdi Kanu – Iwuanyanwu.
President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo World wide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has said the apex sociocultural organisation of Igbo ethnic nationality has advanced plans to meet soon with, President  Bola Ahmed Tinubu to canvass for the Federal Government to grant immediate release to the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, 

Iwuanyanwu stated this in Owerri yesterday when the leadership of Supreme Council of Nigeria Traditional Rulers, Southeast chapter led by the President, HRM Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna  of Abia State, Vice President,  HRH Eze Dr Oliver Ohanwe, the Obi Gburu Gburu of Igboland and Chief Host paid him a courtesy solidarity visit in his Glass House Orji-Owerri office complex.

Iwuanyanwu, who expressed gratitude for the visit, their patriotism and calibre of traditional rulers in Igboland, regretted that other ethnic groups in Nigeria have sold the dummy of perceived succession of the Igbo ethnic group to the Federal Government, thus creating undue fear and suspicion of every good intention of the group before the government.

He pointed out that statistics have shown that Igbos are the real critical stakeholders in Nigeria project as they own over 60 per cent of the investments in the country, adding  that their investments and residential identities spread across all the nooks and crannies of the nation unlike other ethnic groups that mainly invest  and reside only within their ethnic geographical location.

According to him: “Your request ( Supreme Council of Nigeria Traditional Rulers, South East chapter) and solidarity visit have reinvigorated my leadership intention to see President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on issues concerning Igbo ethnic group, more especially the need to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB. His continual detention is escalating insecurity in Southeast.

” Let us see when he’s released, any person or group that will be instigating insecurity or crisis in Igboland using his name or  detention.  Some people and groups are illegally feasting on his popularity and detention just to cause unnecessary trouble and problem in the entire Southeast and for their own selfish interest.There must be peace and stability in Igboland. Immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will definitely restore sanity and unravel alot for the benefit of the nation”

Ahaejiagamba as he is known,  further said that since his emergence as the President of the apex sociocultural organisation, he has instituted the organisation in all the continents of the world including America, Europe, Asia and South Africa noting that over 6,000 000 Igbos are living in diaspora.

The Chief Host of the delegation, HRH Eze Dr Oliver Ohanwe, the traditional ruler of Isiama ancient kingdom in Isiala-Mbano LGA of Imo State said the essence of the visit was to have a mutual collaborative partnership with the leadership of the apex sociocultural organization in execution of their mission and vision which he insisted are for the overall interests of Igbo ethnic group.

Ohanwe, who described Iwuanyanwu as a five- Star General commended him also for being a stabilizing factor among the Southeast Governors and other critical stakeholders of the region.

He canvassed his organisation’s foremost desire of advocating for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a strategic means of arresting insecurity in the region and the need to have a harmonious cultural identity among the ethnic nationality.

The monarch informed of their resolved plans to see President Tinubu, his leadership team and some eminent Nigerians concerning the continual marginalisation of the ethnic group and the need to readdress the injustice especially as it concerns the continual detention of  Mazi Nnamdi Kanu despite courts order for his immediate release.

 He commended the Southeast Governors for their desires to revamp the region’s collaborative socioeconomic activities as well as their untiring efforts in repositioning and transformation of the zone.
