A former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has passionately called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing the move as a vital step toward reconciliation and national stability. He emphasized that Kanu’s release would symbolize justice, unity, and a pathway to lasting peace in Nigeria.
He further stated that ignoring this appeal would prompt action from the people, underscoring their collective resolve to uphold justice and fairness. In a striking metaphor, he likened this potential action to reclaiming their “wife,” a reference to the familial connection between the President’s spouse and the people. This statement, he clarified, was not a threat but a testament to the people’s commitment to equity and justice.
He said in a live coverage by Symfoni from 2:31, “Mr. President, we urge you to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. His release will not only serve as a symbol of reconciliation but also pave the way for genuine peace and stability in Nigeria. However, let it be clear: if this call for justice and unity is ignored, we, as a people, will act. We will take back our wife — your beloved spouse — who is also our daughter. This is not merely a threat but a reflection of our commitment to justice, equity, and fairness.”
