Human rights campaigner Omoyele Sowore has issued a direct challenge to political leaders and citizens across Nigeria to move beyond rhetoric and take concrete action demanding the freedom of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement shared through his official X handle, Sowore announced his willingness to temporarily put aside political disagreements to unite for this singular objective.
The activist proposed organizing a peaceful demonstration to the presidential residence, calling on southeastern governors, lawmakers, traditional leaders, religious figures, and all Nigerians who support Kanu’s release to participate in person rather than merely offering verbal support.
Sowore specifically named several prominent figures, including Governor Charles Soludo, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Alex Otti, and Peter Obi, urging them to demonstrate their commitment by joining the planned march physically.
He emphasized that the proposed action would be conducted peacefully, lawfully, and publicly, with the goal of seeking justice and ending what he described as Kanu’s ongoing persecution. The activist pledged to personally lead the demonstration to the presidential villa.
In his words, “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.Continue, Full, Reading>>>>
