The President of Osisioma Foundation, Chike Obidigbo has called on President Bola Tinubu to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra ,IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and commence the process of national renewal
He said the continued incarceration of the IPOB leader serves no useful purpose, rather his release would usher in a united front against the current economic challenges facing the country.
The elder statesman advised Tinubu to discontinue his promise to continue in the footsteps of his immediate predecessor Muhammadu Buhari, noting that Buhari’s tactics were not beneficial to the socio-economic survival of Nigeria.
Chike Obidigbo observed that while Tinubu has through some of his recent actions showed willingness to step out of the Buhari shadow, he should be bold enough completely redirect the nation to be able to confront so many challenges, most of which were caused by the Buhari era, “Only President Tinubu knows whether holding the IPOB leader is contained in Buhari’s handover notes.
“But, whatever reasons Buhari may have advanced, Tinubu as the incumbent should evaluate the details of such blind and hard-hearted disposition and use his good offices to review and release Kanu.
“As a concerned elder citizen, I know of a truth that the political situation of any developing country impinges on its economy, just as the peace, security and wellbeing of the citizens constitute the primary purpose of government.”
