HURIWA’s Onwubiko said, “The rising calls by well-meaning South-East leaders for Nnamdi Kanu’s release amidst a rising state of insecurity and targeted attacks in the South-East should not be ignored by President Muhammadu Buhari especially as he prepares to go into a quiet retirement whereby he ought to prepare his credentials as a Statesman and not a regional bigot of the North of Nigeria.
“We urge President Buhari to hearken to the voice of reason and release Kanu now to stop the heightened threats to lives, and property of citizens of South-East and to open up vistas of constructive dialogues towards peaceful polls all over Nigeria, and especially in the South-East.
“Kanu must be freed now because it is fraudulent to receive an award for peace when this government’s hardline and military action in the South-East escalated the violence in the South-East.
“It is an irony that the President will receive a peace award in Mauritania yet the entire Nigeria boils from the North to the South.
