The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) in their condolence message to the family of elder statesman, Mbazuluike Amaechi who died on Tuesday at the age of 93 has regretted that President Buhari Muhammadu failed to grant his last wish of releasing its leader, Nnamdi Kanu who is still in detention.
According to the message by the spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, Ndigbo, he noted, will surely miss him.
He said “Again, IPOB worldwide will not forget the effort of our father towards the release of our great liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu who was kidnapped from Kenya to Nigeria by the Federal Government. In spite of his age and failing health, he lead Igbo elder’s visit to Aso Rock, Abuja to plead with the Federal Government headed by Buhari to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as his last wish.
“But the President claimed that only Judiciary will decide MNK’ fate. Even after the same Court have discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, same Buhari and his Fulani hegomony ignored the request of an old dying man and the Court verdict because of incurable hatred towards Ndigbo.
“We ask God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama to give the family of Chief Mbazuluike fortitude to bear the lost because Ndigbo has lost an iroko who stood by the truth always.
‘We lost an icon who wished to see Biafra Nation in his life time. We mourn the great Iroko.
We condole with entire Biafrans especially Ndigbo for this great loss,” Powerful stated.
