President-general of Afeinifer, Senator John Azuta Mbata, has called on the federal government to urgently release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The apex Igbo social-cultural organisation leader‘s call followed an acknowledgement from some quarters that Kanu has had some health challenges, including hypertension (high blood pressure) for about five years, with hypertensive heart disease.
Mbata also asked the federal government to allow Kanu to get medical treatment as quickly as possible.
In a video obtained by LEADERSHIP Friday, the Ohanaeze leader maintained that the government has no serious advantage in keeping the IPOB leader.
Mbata advised the government to adopt a political solution and urged it to ensure Kanu‘s welfare and safety.
“This is Senator John Azuta Mbata, the President General of Ohanaeze, Nwigbo Worldwide. I want the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Nnamdi Kanu quickly. The government has no serious advantage in keeping him.”
