Chief Edwin Clark, Chief of the Pan Niger Delta Discussion board (PANDEF), has requested President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to launch the detained chief of the Indigenous Individuals of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Edwin Clark wrote to President Tinubu on Sunday, June 16, pleading with him to compel the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, to cease all legal actions against him, as they did for Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore President Bello Bodejo.
According to him, releasing Kanu will end the South-East’s Monday sit-at-home order and bring peace back to the country.
In keeping with him, giving Kanu his freedom will finish the Monday sit-at-home order within the South-East and restore peace within the nation.
The letter read partly:
“I’ve by no means supported the actions of IPOB BEHIND the management of MAZI Nnamdi Kanu, however at this time, Nigeria is a damaged nation, the place many teams and nationalities have cried foul to the best way Nigeria has been going since 1999 due to the army structure imposed on Nigerians by the army.
“Right now, our economic system is failing, our democracy , our schooling and well being establishments are collapsing, the youths are jobless, and a few persons are handled as second-class residents whereas a couple of benefit from the fruits of the so-called democracy we’re passing by. Coupled with the violence and insecurity within the South-East, if allowed to proceed, the implications can be very disagreeable for all Nigerians.
“Let me re-EMPHASIS the significance and urgency of reintegrating the Igbos into the mainstream of Nigeria, the place their area can be equal with different areas in all ramifications, which means that they need to be absolutely and unconditionally united or be admitted into the union of Nigeria because it was earlier than the civil struggle.”
