Factional secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu lsiguzoro
has called on fellow Igbo brethren to direct their grievances towards the
Southeast governors and leaders rather than President Bola Tinubu regarding the
deteriorating security situation in the region.
Ohanaeze said the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, and
the refusal of his release from the Department of State Services, DSS, custody
was the actual cause of insecurity in the zone.
A statement signed by lsiguzoro, on Sunday in Abakaliki,
Ebonyi State, said it has come to light that South-East Governors and certain
Igbo leaders have not provided the essential assurances required to explore
political resolutions for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
The statement noted the crucial need for unity and
cooperation among South-East Governors and esteemed Igbo personalities such as
Chief Emeka Anyaoku, Ebutu Ukiwe, Senator Ike Nwachukwu, and others, in
providing the Federal Government with assurances regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s future
conduct post-release.
He said it appears that some South-East Governors and Igbo
elites have chosen to exploit Nnamdi Kanu’s detention for personal gain,
political bargaining, and the pursuit of political relevance.
“It is disheartening to note that certain Southeast
Governors and Igbo leaders seem content to visit Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS
facility, diminishing him to the status of a “monkey in the Zoo.” They seem
more inclined to visit and take photographs with Kanu in detention rather than
actively seeking political solutions for his release.
“It is paramount for Ndigbo to hold Southeast Governors,
Igbo Elders, National Assembly members, and Traditional Rulers accountable for
the extended detention of Nnamdi Kanu, and refrain from laying blame on the
Federal Government or President BolaTinubu.
“The Federal Government awaits a united stance and
commitments from the Igbo community to facilitate a potential release of Nnamdi
Kanu.
