Even Nnamdi Kanu won’t beg Tinubu like this to be freed.
Stop being weak, Organize your people, Force your representative in the South East to demand Kanu release in the house.

Respect sir
But we all agreed all arms of government should operate independently. So it’s of my opinion, Mr President should allow the honourable court to do their job without interference so as not to set a bad precedence. Thanks boss

Well, but all my Igbo friends don’t want Kanu to be released. They all keep saying it’s too risky. Some don’t say it openly and some are bold to say it openly. I am honest, all the Igbos I’m connected to through business transactions or something, they all don’t want him released

It saddens my heart when I see the Ndi Igbo nearly coming down to their knees in begging Nigeria 4somethin. OUK emotional outburst in the senate was a case study. Ndi-igbo should stop playing victimization b’cus it’s damaging our image of who we are. Enough of the the begging

Sir,
The man of the people.
An inspirational to a generation.
A son of the soil.
Please can you explain why the release of Nnamdi Kanu is the major priority for you amongst the many socio and infrastructural plights plaguing our region.

Don’t worry Yul, let Nnamdi Kanu prove his innocence in court. The president can’t afford to set a bad precedent for a terrorist.
