Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, is asking President Bola Tinubu’s government to release Nnamdi Kanu as a Christmas present for the Igbo people. In his Christmas message, Chief Iwuanyanwu said that keeping Kanu in custody doesn’t promote goodwill, peace, and unity.

He pointed out that the Supreme Court sending Kanu’s case to a lower court makes it seem like the government isn’t concerned about the insecurity in the South East. Chief Iwuanyanwu believes that releasing Kanu would show that Tinubu cares about the Igbo people.
He also urged people in Igbo-speaking states to follow the law and make resolutions for the new year. Chief Iwuanyanwu wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, expressing confidence that Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s efforts would bring positive results in the coming year.
Additionally, he called on the government to start programs that would help reduce the suffering in the country, especially focusing on projects that create jobs for the many unemployed young people.
