Leaders of thought under the aegis of pan-Igbo group, Nzuko Umunna, on Tuesday demanded the immediate release of the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Delivering a statement in Abuja, former Governor of Central Bank, Charles Soludo said Kanu was entitled to freedom since he was not above the law and as such should not be placed below the law.

According to Soludo, “We are a delegation of Nzuko Umunna, a pan-Igbo group.

‎”We visited Nnamdi Kanu to hear his own point of view as well as share our own point of view with him.

“We believe that Nigeria has the potential to be great, and like most countries has its own challenges.

“Nigeria has never been more divided than now. Most discerning patriots have come to the conclusion that Nigeria has currently structured is destined to be a failed state‎.

“It is our considered view that most of the agitation is in response to a looting elite. We do not condone violence.

“We note that in 2015 Nigerians voted for change. As the ruling party, the APC has it duty to deliver to the Nigerian people.

“So far APC seems to have abandoned its cardinal duty to Nigeria.

‎”We are in a state of emergency at all levels.
