The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has called on the Federal Government to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Igbo socio- political organsation described the continued detention of Kanu as unjust and unacceptable.
This demand was part of a communique issued after a two-day leadership retreat themed “Rebuilding Our Foundation,” held in Enugu. The retreat brought together Igbo leaders and stakeholders from various sectors to discuss pressing issues affecting the region.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership, comprising President General Senator Azuta Mbata, his deputy Prince Okey Nwadinobi, Secretary General Emeka Sibeudu, and National Publicity Secretary Dr. Ezechi Chukwu, signed the communique.
The organisation emphasised the need for unity, economic revitalisation, and cultural rebirth rooted in traditional Igbo values. They also resolved to support a Professorial Endowment Chair in seven universities to promote research in Igbo language, culture, and history.
Furthermore, Ohanaeze Ndigbo said it planned to present its programmes and a draft constitution to its highest decision-making body, Imeobi, soon.
