Apex Igbo Socio-cultural Organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, condemned the persistent and unacceptable stalemate surrounding the prolonged incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Ohanaeze expressed dismay over inaction exhibited by the Southeast Governors, who appear to be “playing the ostrich” in the grave matter.

A statement issued on Sunday by Ohanaeze’s factional Deputy President-General, Okechukwu Isigozoro, in firmest terms, called on the governors to abandon their counterproductive “ostrich politics” and reevaluate their roles as leaders.The statement read in part, “The collective aspirations of the Southeast must be prioritized. If there is further hesitation or lethargy in addressing this crucial issue of Kanu’s release, we will mobilize the electorate to express their discontent through their votes in the upcoming elections. This is a stern warning and should not be taken lightly.

“We extend our heartfelt assurances to the family of Nnamdi Kanu, who rightly voice their frustrations regarding the apparent failures of the Southeast Governors. We recall the promises made during the Governors’ meeting on July 2, 2024, in Enugu—a meeting that was broadcast widely and which ostensibly committed these leaders to engage President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in securing Kanu’s freedom.

” The shocking allegations from Kanu’s family, claiming that the Southeast Governors have since declined invitations to discuss his release, warrant immediate and thorough investigation. Ohanaeze Ndigbo will pursue a forensic intelligence inquiry to uncover the motivations behind this disconcerting turn of events.
