Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has called for a peaceful march to the Aso Rock Villa to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
LeadNaija News report that In a post shared via his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Sowore challenged Southeast political and traditional leaders to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete action toward securing Kanu’s freedom.
He wrote:
“I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause. I challenge every politician or person of good conscience from the Southeast who says they want @NnamdiKanu released to stop the rhetoric.
“Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa. Every governor, senator, member of the House, traditional ruler, priest, eze, Igbo person, and every Nigerian who believes in Kanu’s freedom, come out and do more than talk. I will lead this peaceful march to the Aso Rock Villa.”
Sowore also specifically mentioned Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia State Governor Alex Otti, and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, urging them to join the movement.
“No more empty noise. Let @CCSoludo, @SenatorAbaribe, @alexottiofr, @PeterObi, and all others who claim to care step up and join us in person. We go together peacefully, legally, and visibly to demand justice and an end to MNK’s persecution,” he added.
The activist emphasized that the planned action would be peaceful, legal, and symbolic, stressing the need for unity and visible solidarity across Nigeria in pursuit of justice.
