by · The Eagle Online

The President-General of the apex Igbo Socio-Cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Senator John Azuta-Mbata, has pleaded with the Federal Government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

This is as Azuta-Mbata called on Igbos across the country to ensure they actively participate in the ongoing voters’ registration exercise and obtain their voter cards.

In a video message yesterday, Senator Azuta-Mbata, who urged Ndigbo to take the on-going voters registration seriously, said the Federal Government had no advantage in still detaining Nnamdi Kanu

He sought political solution to the imbroglio that has kept Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, since 2021.

The message read: “This is Senator John Azuta-Mbata, President-General Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide. I am calling upon igbo wherever you are in Nigeria to quickly go and take advantage of the voters registration exercise that’s going on now, don’t play with it. Go and get your card as quickly as possible
