Popular activist, Omoyele Sowore, on Tuesday evening disclosed that he plans to organise a march to Aso Rock Presidential Villa in order to protest the continued detention of the leader of the proscribed group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He has therefore solicited the support of governors, lawmakers, traditional rulers, other politicians from the South East to support him in embarking on the march.
Sowore disclosed this on his verified X handle, saying he plans to set aside his differences with some politicians and will lead what he described as a “peaceful march to Aso Rock.”
According to him: “I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause. I challenge every politician or person of good conscience from the South East who say they want Nnamdi Kanu released to stop the rhetoric. Time for action is NOW.
“Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa. Every governor, senator, member of the House of Representatives, traditional ruler, priest, eze, Igbo person, and every Nigerian who believes in Kanu’s freedom, come out and do more than talk. I will lead this peaceful march to the Aso Rock Villa.”
He specifically mentioned governors of Abia and Anambra states, Alex Otti and Charles Soludo as well as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, among others, as those who should join him in his planned march to Aso Rock.
“We go together peacefully, legally, and visibly to demand justice and an end to Nnamdi Kanu’s persecution,” he added.
