APC govt should obey court order on Nnamdi Kanu – Reps candidate

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Ideato House of Representatives, Imo Ikenga Ugochinyere, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government to obey court order on Nnamadi Kanu.

Recall that the judgement of the Court of Appeal, delivered on October 13, 2022 had discharged Nnamdi Kanu.

The delay by the Federal Government toy release him, had Tuesday prompted Kanu through his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN to write to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, demanding unconditional release from the detention facility of the Deperatment of State Services.

Reacting to this delay, Ugochinyere, who is also the spokesman of Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), expresses concern over the continued delay in freeing Kanu from detention.

Ugochinyere pointed out that the disobedience to court for Kanu release can be described as plan by the APC to escalate crisis in South East.

The Ideato House of Representatives candidate further said that the disobedience and continued detention of Kanu is an expression of hatred by the Federal Government against the Igbo.

He said they are left with no other option than to plan a rally in Ideato to demand APC govt free Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by court.

“It is embarrassing that after the court had made its pronouncements through its judgement that Nnamdi should be released, Federal Government is still keeping him.

“Which other interpretation do you need than to say that the APC-led Federal Government hate the Igbo people. This a pure demonstration of hatred towards the Igbo people.

“The only way this government can exonerate itself from this, is to show and demonstrate its love for the people of this region and release Nnamdi Kanu.

“The marginalizion is too glaring and if Nnamdi Kanu was from a different region of this country, he would have been released since. Government should show its sincerity and walk the talk of united Nigeria.
