Political activist, Omoyole Sowore, on Friday disclosed that he met former President Goodluck Jonathan on the trial and detention of the leader of the outlawed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), saying the former president agreed to meet President Tinubu over the issue.
Sowore disclosed this on his X handle on Friday afternoon, adding that he met the former president in Abuja, where they discussed the matter and Jonathan agreed that there is an urgent and compelling need to address the matter decisively and justly.
Sowore wrote: “Particularly assuring was that he promised to meet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to discuss this issue as soon as possible.
“With this, former President Jonathan joins a growing list of Nigerians who have called for justice in Nnamdi Kanu’s case, a list that already includes ex Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Femi Falana SAN, Senator Shehu Sani and many others across political and regional divides.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains in detention today because he took up the cause of confronting the long-standing issue of marginalization in Nigeria. “Like other ethnic and regional activists whose politically motivated cases have been withdrawn or dismissed, Nnamdi Kanu should also be released without further delay.”
