Why Tinubu will release Nnamdi Kanu – Ojukwu

Vanguard reported that the minister also noted that President Tinubu understands the importance of Kanu’s release to the Southeast. She stated that his release would help to identify those criminals who are hiding under IPOB to cause violence in the Southeast while masquerading as freedom fighters.

Ojukwu’s comments have sparked a debate on social media, with some people expressing support for her views, while others have criticized her for being too optimistic about Kanu’s release. Some have also questioned whether President Tinubu has the political will to release Kanu, given the sensitive nature of the issue.

Despite the controversy surrounding Kanu’s detention, Ojukwu remains hopeful that he will be released soon. In her remark, she urged the people of the Southeast to continue propagating the ideals for which her late husband stood and to work towards reclaiming their land from those who have been causing violence and instability in the region.
