44 Lawmakers write Tinubu, seek Nnamdi Kanu’s release
A coalition of 44 serving federal lawmakers from across Nigeria has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to use his constitutional authority to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention and initiate an inclusive political dialogue to address challenges in the region.
Operating under the banner of Concerned Federal Lawmakers, the group urged the President to instruct the Attorney-General of the Federation to halt Kanu’s prosecution and engage in meaningful discussions aimed at finding a lasting political solution.
In a two-page letter, signed by lawmakers including Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, Hon. Obi Aguocha, Hon. Murphy Osaro, Hon. Peter Akpanke, Hon. Mudshiru Lukman, Hon. Paul Nnamechi, among others, the lawmakers stressed the urgency of national reconciliation and political stability.
It noted the Federal Government’s ongoing negotiations with other agitating groups across the country, the rising insecurity in the Southeast since 2015, and domestic and international legal rulings in Kanu’s favor.
The lawmakers stressed that discontinuing the prosecution and engaging in dialogue would promote national unity, reconciliation, and peace in the Southeast. The letter concluded with a pledge of respect and support for the President’s office.
