Breaking News: Former President Jonathan Joins Calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release

Abuja, Nigeria – In a significant development, former President Goodluck Jonathan has thrown his weight behind the call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). According to reports, Jonathan met with a concerned individual earlier today to discuss Kanu’s continued incarceration and agreed that the matter needs to be addressed decisively and justly.

Jonathan reportedly promised to meet with President Bola Tinubu to discuss Kanu’s case, further amplifying the growing chorus of voices demanding Kanu’s release. This list includes notable figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Femi Falana SAN, Senator Shehu Sani, and many others across various divides.

The call for Kanu’s release is driven by concerns over marginalization and the prolonged detention of the IPOB leader. Many believe that Kanu’s case has become a symbol of the need for justice and fairness in Nigeria’s treatment of ethnic and regional activists.

As the movement gains momentum, prominent individuals, including politicians, traditional leaders, and activists, are being urged to join the call for Kanu’s release. Notable figures such as Peter Obi, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Alex Otti, and others from the Southeast region are specifically being invited to lend their voices to the cause.

The campaign for Kanu’s release is expected to culminate in a peaceful protest march to the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja on October 20, led by activist Omoyele Sowore.
