Bianca Ojukwu Commits To Efforts For Nnamdi Kanu’s Release Under Tinubu’s Leadership

Bianca Ojukwu Commits To Efforts For Nnamdi Kanu’s Release Under Tinubu’s LeadershipNigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has pledged to do everything within her power to ensure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), by President Bola Tinubu.

Speaking during the 13th memorial anniversary of her late husband, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, in Owerri on Tuesday, Bianca Ojukwu expressed her strong belief that President Tinubu understands the critical need for Kanu’s release. She argued that freeing Kanu would help distinguish true freedom fighters from the criminal elements who have exploited his detention to perpetuate violence in the Southeast.

In her address, titled “Unifying the Igbo Race,” Bianca Ojukwu called for an end to the ongoing violence in the Southeast, emphasizing that the Igbo people should not be defined by infighting and bloodshed. She stressed the need for collective efforts to restore safety and order to the region.

“The release of Nnamdi Kanu is crucial to exposing the criminals hiding behind the guise of IPOB. Our people are under constant threat, and we must take action to bring back peace,” she stated.

Bianca Ojukwu lamented that despite the passing of Dim Ojukwu, the Southeast has become synonymous with violence and insecurity. She noted the mass exodus of people from their homes, with families fleeing kidnappers and criminal gangs.

“Communities are desolate. Our great sons and daughters have been forced to leave. Kidnappers are taking our brothers for ransom. This is not the legacy Dim Ojukwu fought for,” she remarked.

She further stressed that Nnamdi Kanu’s release would help expose those masquerading as freedom fighters while wreaking havoc in the region. Bianca Ojukwu emphasized that President Tinubu comprehends the significance of granting Kanu his freedom, which she believes will help end the violence and bring the perpetrators to light.

“President Tinubu knows how important Kanu’s release is. It will unmask the criminals behind the violence and pave the way for the restoration of peace. I will do whatever it takes to ensure this request is granted,” she said, also condemning the imposition of the violent “sit-at-home” orders in the Southeast, which have crippled the region’s economy.

“Ndigbo are resilient and their brother’s keepers. We must reclaim our land and continue to uphold the principles for which Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu stood,” the Minister added.

Bianca Ojukwu’s statement is part of the growing calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s release, with many seeing it as a necessary step to addressing the worsening insecurity and fostering unity in the Southeast.
