Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs (State), Bianca Ojukwu, has expressed optimism that President Bola Tinubu will release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to Ojukwu, the release of Kanu has become germane to identify those who are true freedom fighters and those who have been causing mayhem in the South-East.
Ojukwu made these remarks during the 13th memorial anniversary of her late husband, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
She stressed that the reign of terror in the South-East must stop and that the people must collectively reclaim their land.
Ojukwu decried that many people have fled their homes, and those in the diaspora are afraid to return for fear of being kidnapped by their own people for ransom.
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 South-East while masquerading as freedom fighters.
Meanwhile, 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.
