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.
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
