A group of clerics has accused South East governors of failing to pressure the federal government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, an Igbo Nation agitator detained for three years. They allege the governors betrayed the Igbo people's interest and made a deal with the President to secure Kanu's release in exchange for political support. The letter also criticizes the President for not fulfilling his promise to release Kanu and accuses the governors of being the source of insecurity in the region.
The South East governors have again been accused of paying lip service to the widespread agitation for the release of the Igbo Nation agitator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu , who has been detained on the order of a court by the federal government for the past three years. The governors were specifically accused of betraying the Igbo Nation 's common interest by failing to put pressure on the Bola Ahmed Tinubu -led government to release Kanu, despite widespread calls for his freedom.
'During his campaign in Imo State, the President promised that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would be liberated during his presidency, but nothing has happened in nearly two years now. 'Sadly, no South East governor confronted Mr. President during his tour of the region about Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's infamous and illegal detention. 'It is now evident to everyone that our South East governors are the true source of insecurity in the South East.
