“Stop the Rhetoric, Let’s March to Aso Rock Villa for Kanu’s Release” – Sowore Challenges Obi, Soludo, Other Southeast Leaders

Former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has proposed a direct action to push for the release of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in detention since June 2021.

In a post on Instagram, Sowore called on prominent Southeast figures, including Peter Obi, Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, Abia State Governor Alex Otti, and others, to join him in a peaceful march to the Aso Rock Villa to demand Kanu’s freedom.

“I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause. I challenge every politician or person of good conscience from the Southeast who says they want Nnamdi Kanu released to stop the rhetoric. Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa,” Sowore wrote.

He urged Southeast leaders to lead by example, tagging Soludo, Alex Otti, Peter Obi, and others in his call, stressing that the march will be peaceful, legal, and visible.

Sowore concluded: “We go together peacefully, legally, and visibly to demand justice and an end to MNK’s persecution. Chikena! Jisie Ike! #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”
