Ohanaeze reveals what will happen to Peter Obi if Nnamdi Kanu is released

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organisation has asserted that the potential release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), would likely diminish the popularity of self-acclaimed Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa and the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Isiguzoro Okechukwu, emphasized that Kanu’s release could have significant implications for the political landscape in the Southeast region.

The statement addressed what Ohanaeze perceived as attempts by some Igbo political elites and opportunists to claim undue credit for Kanu’s potential release.

It urged President Tinubu not to entertain visits or demands from such individuals, asserting that credit for Kanu’s release should be solely attributed to him.

The statement read, “It has come to our attention that certain mischievous Igbo political elites and deviant opportunists are attempting to take undue credit for Nnamdi Kanu’s potential release. Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges President Tinubu not to entertain any visits or demands from these individuals, as the credit for Kanu’s release should solely be attributed to him.”

The statement further suggested that the effects of Kanu’s release would gradually diminish the rising popularity of both Peter Obi and Simon Ekpa in the Southeast. It also highlighted potential positive impacts from a security perspective, stating, “Additionally, from a security perspective, Ekpa’s disruptive activities and terrorist tendencies in the Southeast will be consigned to the annals of history.”
