Fielding questions from journalists in Owerri Imo State capital, Friday in reaction to the judgement handed down on the prolonged trial of the leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and presided over by Justice James Omotosho Omotosho, the concerned people believed that president Bola Ahmed Tinubu would be magnanimous enough to listen to the clarion calls by Nigerians from all sectors of the country to tamper justice with mercy and grant Kanu freedom <\/p>\n
The group further believed that Kanu’s case would be settled through a political dialogue, urging Nigerians particularly, Ndigbo, to remain calm and continue to pray to God for his intervention <\/p>\n
This opinion however, added to the opinion expressed by the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives Rt Hon Benjamin Kalu who noted that political solution is under way for the release of Kanu <\/p>\n
The Honourable member, assured, ” a political solution is being actively pursued to secure the release of Kanu” <\/p>\n
In a statement shortly after the judgement, thursday, Nov 2025, the Deputy Speaker expressed optimism that the President would oblige the clarion calls and appeals from Igbo leaders, sympathizers and other stake holders to this effect <\/p>\n
According to him, ” it is now time to explore political solution to actualise the release of Kanu” <\/p>\n
Also reacting to the judgement, a political Analyst, Dr Chikwado Enebili Ndukwe urged the Igbos not to lose hope pointing out, ” there are still some space by which Nnamdi Kanu could be set free” <\/p>\n
He noted that the whole cenario shows some political undertone and therefore requires political solution <\/p>\n
According to him, ” some day Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would be released ” he stated reminding the people of the South East to come together in one voice to pursue one common front
