In a statement released on Sunday, the family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), expressed their gratitude to the President-General and leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Southeast governors, traditional rulers, bishops, archbishops, as well as members of the National Assembly for their unwavering support during Kanu’s trial.
The statement, signed by Kingsley Kanunta Kanu on behalf of the family, emphasized the exceptional commitment of certain Southeast civic and political leaders in seeking justice for Nnamdi Kanu since his extraordinary rendition from Kenya in 2021.
The family particularly recognized the President-General and leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Chairman and members of the Joint Body of Southeast Traditional Rulers, Bishops & Archbishops, certain Southeast Governors, and members of the National Assembly for their consistent interventions in Kanu’s trial.
They acknowledged both overt and covert efforts, expressing their belief that these actions have not only made a difference but have also inspired others to recognize the injustice surrounding the case.
The statement read: “To all those that this may concern, we, the siblings of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu hereby wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional support and dedication to the cause of justice for our brother and head of our family, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu since his rendition from Kenya.”
The family urged those who have been blackmailed or falsely accused in connection with Kanu’s trial not to relent, asking them to perceive such actions as the mischievous workings and betrayals of those opposed to Kanu and the Southeast.
“We must not fail to thank in particular the President-General and leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Chairman and members of the Joint Body of Southeast Traditional Rulers, Bishops & Archbishops; certain Southeast Governors and members of the National Assembly.
Your constant interventions, covert or overt, have not only made a difference, but they have also inspired and motivated others to see the injustice of the case. We are genuinely grateful for what you all have done,” the statement continued.
In conclusion, the family reiterated their gratitude, stating, “Once again, thank you all for your remarkable efforts and unwavering support. We are truly appreciative of everything you all have done, and we look forward to the opportunity of soon witnessing the positive outcome of your interventions.”
