The\u00a0Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra\u00a0(MASSOB) has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for the sake of national unity.<\/p>\n
MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, told newsmen that Kanu\u2019s release will contribute to national healing and unity, fostering better relations between different ethnic groups and the Federal Government.<\/p>\n
Madu argued that Kanu\u2019s release will pave the way for dialogue aimed at addressing the grievances of the southeastern region, which according to him, led to calls for self-determination and greater autonomy.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cOur call for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s release also reflects the sentiments of many individuals and groups in Igbo land, Nigeria and globally who continue to advocate for Kanu\u2019s release and see it as a critical step towards addressing broader political and social issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cMASSOB\u2019s appeal also serves not only as a demand for Kanu\u2019s release but also as a reflection of broader aspirations for justice and recognition of the rights of Biafra people within the Nigerian federation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe outcome of this appeal may influence future dialogue between the government and various ethnic groups in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
