The 2023 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has challenged the former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, and other South East leaders to join the march to Aso Rock, demanding the release of the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Naijaonpoint recalls that the secessionist leader has been in detention since June 2021.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Sowore urged South East leaders and politicians to stop empty noise and demand the release of Kanu.
He wrote, “I will set aside my differences with some politicians for one cause. I challenge every politician or person of good conscience from the Southeast who says they want @mazinnamdikanu released to stop the rhetoric.
“Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to the Aso Rock Villa. Every governor, senator, member of the House, traditional ruler, priest, eze, Igbo person, and every Nigerian who believes in Kanu’s freedom, come out and do more than talk. I will lead this peaceful march to the Aso Rock Villa.
No more empty noise. Let @CCSoludo, @enyinnayaabaribe, @alexottiofr, @peterobigregory and all others who claim to care step up and join us in person.
“We go together peacefully, legally, and visibly to demand justice and an end to MNK’s persecution. Chikena! Jisie Ike! #FreeNnamdiKanuNow”
