The release of detained leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has taken a heightened turn.
Speaking at a meeting Dallas United States of America, Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, wife of Late Biafran Leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has reiterated the call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, more so as a competent court has declared him free.
Ojukwu made the call when she delivered a keynote address at the Annual National Conference and Convention of the American Veterans of Igbo Descent, AVID, in Dallas, Texas in USA.
The keynote address of the event which took place between August 19 and August 20, was released to newsmen in Enugu on Tuesday.
AVID is a congregation of American citizens, both men and women of Igbo extraction who are currently serving military officers and veterans who have served honourably in various branches of the United States Military at different times, different conflicts and different theatres of war.
Ojukwu maintained that “it is only when the leaders in Igboland rise up, jettison their perceived conspiracy of silence and confront the truth will there be the slightest possibility of healing and recovery from the unfortunate condition which Igboland currently finds itself in”.
According to her, the onerous task of confronting the Leviathan can only start when we come to terms with the fact that it is the neglect of the leadership in Igboland to effectively highlight and address the blatant marginalization of Ndigbo through the years.
Ojukwu, who is former Nigeria Ambassador to Spain, said: “This majorly created the vacuum which led to the emergence of Nnamdi Kanu, and then proceed to make the necessary amends.”
She called for greater synergy among the governors of the South-East and urging them to continue to intensify efforts towards the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu…
