Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has been praised by Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, for the alleged lifting of the Monday sit-at-home order across the South-East states.
According to Igboho, the project would boost socioeconomic activity in the area and foster an atmosphere that would support the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.
The Monday sit-at-home command, which had been in effect for around five years, was reportedly canceled by Kanu, who is presently incarcerated for life at the Sokoto Correctional Facility for terrorism.
Igboho characterized Kanu’s choice as deliberate and prompt in a statement released by his attorney, Mr. Pelumi Olanjengbesi.
“I want to strongly explore dialogue and mediation with the Federal Government to break the deadlock in his current ordeal,” the statement said in part.
While communication is still a possible route to peace and security, Igboho pointed out that self-determination is still a fundamental right.
“I believe that the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is inclined toward negotiation and mutual understanding for the peace, shared prosperity, security, and the deserved respect that the South-East commands,” he said, adding that Mazi Kanu has the fundamental right to pursue self-determination.
In the interest of peace and progress, the activist also urged those who are purportedly profiting off the region’s instability to stop.
In the interest of regional peace and national economic growth, he continued, “it is equally imperative to appeal to all those who profit from the desecration and despoliation of the South-East through violence to desist from such acts.”
