Kanu’s Release Will End Southeast Insecurity – Ejimakor
Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel representing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserted on Saturday that releasing Kanu would resolve the ongoing insecurity in the Southeast region of Nigeria.
Ejimakor claimed that individuals obstructing Kanu’s release are benefiting from the current unrest in the region.
In a post on X, Ejimakor emphasized Kanu’s deep significance to many supporters, stating, “While understanding human motivations can be challenging, it is clear that MAZI NNAMDI KANU holds a profound place in the hearts and minds of countless individuals.”
Ejimakor confidently predicted that the end of Kanu’s detention would lead to a significant reduction in the region’s insecurity.
He accused those hindering Kanu’s release of exploiting the chaos for their own gain, asserting, “You can be certain that the insecurity in the Southeast will diminish once #MNK is freed. Those blocking his release are profiting from the current turmoil in the region.”
Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since June 2021 following his arrest and extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.
Since his incarceration, the Southeast has experienced a dramatic increase in violence, including frequent kidnappings and killings, which Ejimakor attributes to the power vacuum created by Kanu’s absence.

Dele Momodu Questions Remi Tinubu’s Interruption of Gov. Adeleke at Ooni’s Event
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”

Atiku’s Spokesman Says APC Is Already Planning to Rig the 2027 Elections
Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.
According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.
“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”
Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.
“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
