“Ooni Pushes Tinubu: Release Nnamdi Kanu, Igboho Deserves Honor”

Published

on

The Igwe of Ezema Olo in Ezeagu LGA, Enugu State, His Royal Highness Ambassador Dr. Lawrence Agubuzu, has urged President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and, if Nigeria is uncomfortable with his presence, return him to Kenya or the United Kingdom.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Kanu was arrested in Kenya during the administration of the late Muhammadu Buhari and brought back to Nigeria to face terrorism charges. Last year, the Federal High Court sentenced him to life imprisonment, and he is currently held at the maximum security prison in Sokoto.

Several prominent Igbo leaders have appealed to Tinubu for Kanu’s release. Agubuzu warned that keeping the pro-Biafra leader behind bars is heightening unrest among youth in the Southeast.

He made the remarks during the 2026 National Traditional and Religious Leaders Summit on Health at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja. Agubuzu said:

“Having come to Abuja and listened to His Royal Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, urging unity, I thought this was good. But while the Ooni plans to honor Sunday Igboho—whom we see as the Southwest counterpart of Nnamdi Kanu—my heart aches seeing Kanu in Sokoto. Sir, the ball is in your court. Bring him out. If we don’t want him in Nigeria, send him back to Kenya or London. Please act. We cannot move forward unless we face the truth.”

The summit, themed “The Role of Traditional and Religious Leaders in Advancing the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative,” aimed to increase community participation in health reforms. However, during the goodwill messages, Agubuzu pressed the President directly on Kanu’s situation, expressing disappointment that Tinubu missed the Ooni’s opening speech encouraging national unity.

‘This Is Good News Peter Obi, Atiku Don’t Want To Hear’ – Presidency Hails Nigeria’s Surging Foreign Reserves.

Published

on

The Presidency has accused key opposition figures, including former 2023 presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, of intentionally ignoring positive economic news under the Bola Tinubu administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) this past Saturday that Nigeria’s foreign reserves have surged to $51.04 billion as of June 18. According to Onanuga, this represents the highest level in 17 years, surpassing the $50.5 billion recorded in January 2009.

Onanuga claimed that opposition candidates and parties are reluctant to acknowledge this development, preferring to maintain the narrative that President Tinubu has achieved nothing since taking office. He argued that “stubborn facts of the administration’s solid achievements” continue to contradict the opposition’s stance.

In unrelated political commentary, Professor Usman Yusuf, the former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, asserted during an interview with DCL English that Peter Obi is “not sellable in the North.

Professor Yusuf argued that Obi cannot effectively penetrate the region and would face intense scrutiny from northern voters regarding his tenure as governor of Anambra State and his stance on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Looking ahead to the 2027 electoral landscape, Yusuf identified the major contenders as President Tinubu of the APC, Atiku Abubakar (whom he associated with the ADC), and Obi.

The Tide Is Turning? Sam Amadi Predicts That Political Attacks On Obi Will Fail Spectacularly!.

Published

on

Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Thought Politics, has stated that efforts to undermine the popularity of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi have been unsuccessful due to the lack of credible evidence regarding corruption or scandals.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Amadi shared these sentiments in a post on X this past Saturday, which served as a response to an ongoing debate involving politician Kenneth Okonkwo and his comments regarding Obi and his supporters. Key aspects of Amadi’s perspective include:

  • Obi’s political appeal remains robust because his critics have failed to produce factual evidence that could harm his reputation.

  • Amadi noted that Obi’s political standing has not been diminished, as his detractors rely on “elitist derision” rather than actual revelations of misconduct.

  • He claimed that Obi possesses a clean record that other current presidential candidates cannot match, ultimately describing Obi as the “best available” candidate on the presidential slate.

  • Amadi argued that Obi’s history of public service has served as a shield against political attacks, further asserting that he remains the most formidable option among the current group of presidential hopefuls.
