Release Nnamdi Kanu, write your name in Gold -Ohanaeze tells Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu would have written his name in gold if he orders the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, according to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo

President-General of the socio-cultural body, Nze Ozichukwu Fidelis Chukwu, made the remark on Friday while welcoming Tinubu to the South-East ahead of his official visit to Enugu State on Saturday.

He further commended what he described as an ‘attitudinal change’ of the Federal Government under Tinubu towards the Igbo nation.

According to spokesman of the organisation, Alex Ogbonnia, Chukwu said: “It is therefore hoped that with the Enugu visit, President Tinubu will write his name with gold in the hearts of Ndigbo and all the well-meaning Nigerians, if he orders for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”

It commended Enugu State governor, Pete Mbah for his “disruptive, innovative and massive infrastructural developments in Enugu State; Enugu International Conference Centre, Enugu Smart schools in all the electoral wards of Enugu State, hospitals across the states, resuscitation of Hotel Presidential Enugu, Flour Mills, Nigergas, the construction and rehabilitation of hundreds of roads in the State, etc, within a short period of his administration”.

The statement added: “We also appreciate His Excellency, Sen Hope Odidika Uzodimma, CON, the Chairman of the South East Governors Forum and Chairman of the All Progressive Governors Forum, for the life-saving installation of Night Landing Equipment at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri.

“Finally, we wish President Tinubu a safe, joyous and eventful trip as he is treated with the Igbo hospitality in Enugu State.”
