President Muhammadu Buhari has been told to honour his earlier stance on the ongoing trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

DAILY POST reports that Buhari had consistently said Kanu’s fate would be decided by the judiciary.

Responding to appeals by traditional, religious and political leaders in the region for the release of the detained leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, the president had said:

I have listened carefully to the various appeals from the elders to the traditional leaders regarding a wide range of options, and as I have said previously this matter remains in the full purview of the courts where it will be properly adjudicated.”

However, just last week, the IPOB leader was acquitted by the Court of Appeal.

But the euphoria that greeted the court order is gradually dying down, with the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami declaring that Kanu would not be released anytime soon.

Speaking on the development, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said President Buhari should show leadership by respecting his own words.

In a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, Okwu said, “it is a source of worry that the Buhari-led presidency is foot-dragging in obeying the Appeal Court’s order on Nnamdi Kanu.
Recall that Igbo leaders, including the international community had at several times asked the President to apply a political solution to Kanu’s case but he said the court would decide on that. Now that the court has ruled in Kanu’s favour, the supposed Chief law officer of the federation, Abubakar Malami is busy deceiving the government.
“We ask Mr. President to show leadership; he should respect the rule of law; for the federal government of Nigeria to disobey valid orders of court is sending the wrong signal to the citizens and the international community.”
The President should without hesitation order the DSS to comply with that order and free Kanu in order to ensure total peace and security in the South-East and the South-South,” Okwu stated.

If buhari will release mnk? I doubt for this one reason.

The buhari I know doesn't release those against his government.

Buhari the scoundrel should do the needful.

Hmmm.

They are wasting their time with these media promo.

He was discharged on the account of improper rendition by FG but not acquited of the crimes he,his proscribed group and violent rhetorics created.

If they are in doubt then should approach the courts to invoke the necessary laws against FG.

The victims of his violent rhetorics and the terrorist group he created deserve justice

So you want buhari to disobey the Fulani and obey the biafran ba ?D


Ohanaeze you must be high...

That is if he is even listening....

He has no choice but if he refuses he should be ready for the consequences of his action, its a matter of time, its like he doesn't want to hold elections a at all in 2023

Did u study and understand the judgement at all? Every other thing the FG does at this point is illegal. They cannot continue with Nnamdi Kanu's trial or bring fresh charges against him untill they have taken him back to Kenya and go through the normal process of extradition.

Nnamdi Kanu once said Buhari and Malami does not have enough education to jail him and they have proven him right.
