A coalition of Igbo youths has said that President Bola Tinubu would not be forgotten by the Igbo, if the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is set free from detention after the Supreme Court ruling on December 15.
The youths under the umbrella of Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) in a statement by their President General, Mr Goodluck Ibem, weekend, noted that President Tinubu had before now been an advocate of the rule law and respect for court orders, which informed his decision to be part of NADECO and the fight against junta rule and dictatorship.
“The unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu will prove that President Tinubu says and stands by what he professes and fought for in the past during the military era.
“The entire South East geopolitical zone is waiting earnestly to receive their son, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the Supreme Court decides on his matter on December 15, 2023.
“We will celebrate President Tinubu for upholding the rule of law and respecting the court judgment releasing Nnamdi Kanu from DSS custody,” Ibem said.
He equally expressed hope that Kanu’s release would douse insecurity in the zone.
“The insecurity in South East will soon be a thing of the past as Nnamdi Kanu will be released,” Ibem assured.
