50 Lawmakers Urge Tinubu: Free Nnamdi Kanu Now
Fifty lawmakers, spanning political divides, unite in a historic appeal to President Bola Tinubu, urging the invocation of constitutional powers to release Nnamdi Kanu. The bipartisan coalition, under ‘Concerned Federal Lawmakers for Peace and Security in the South East,’ advocates invoking legal provisions to end Kanu’s trial, fostering dialogue, and restoring stability in the beleaguered region.
In a joint plea, dated June 19, 2024, the legislators underscored the urgent need for a presidential peace initiative, echoing Tinubu’s previous actions for national harmony. They highlight escalating crises in the Southeast—security breakdowns, economic woes, and mass displacements—as catalysts for immediate intervention.
Anticipating a positive presidential response, the lawmakers envision Tinubu’s leadership leaving a lasting legacy of unity and progress for Nigeria.
