Igbos Have Not Abandoned Nnamdi Kanu – Ohanaeze Ndigbo

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has come out to say that Igbos are not silent on the issues concerning Nnamdi Kanu.

The National Publicity of the group, Alex Ogbonnia recently revealed this via a statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he has been hearing people say that Igbos are not united when it comes to matters concerning Kanu, but that is not a fact at all.

He added that Ohanaeze has actually been providing the activist with legal services since his trail started.

His words, “The Igbo are meeting, it’s just that we are not publicising it as such. We meet and reach an agreement on steps to take. It was the Igbo elders that met and told Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe to stand as a surety for Nnamdi Kanu when he needed one.”

“The Ohanaeze also provided him with legal services when his trial started. To ensure the fair trial of Nnamdi Kanu, we constituted a legal team led by the National Legal Adviser of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide and eminent Igbo leaders to monitor the legal proceedings throughout the trial.”
“We are not silent on the affairs of Nnamdi Kanu, we have been meeting. Ohaeneze have met, other Igbo elders have also met, so we are not quiet.”

“We are a united people. The Igbo are one of the most united tribes in the world. I don’t want anyone to misrepresent the Igbo’s position on Nnamdi Kanu. We have been holding meetings to make sure Nnamdi Kanu is not left as an orphan. We don’t want the matter to appear as if we left Nnamdi Kanu alone. We have been meeting to proffer solutions to the issue.”
