Sowore Calls for Peaceful March to Aso Rock, Urges Southeast Leaders to Join Demand for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release

Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has called for a peaceful march to the Presidential Villa in Abuja to demand the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement shared on his social media page, Sowore said he is ready to set aside his differences with politicians for the cause, urging Southeast leaders and other Nigerians of conscience to move beyond rhetoric and take action.

“I will set aside my differences with politicians for one cause. I challenge every politician or person of good conscience from the Southeast who says they want Nnamdi Kanu released to stop the rhetoric. Time for action is now. Let’s march to Aso Rock Villa,” he said.

Sowore specifically called on Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, and other prominent figures from the region to join the march.

According to him, the move will be peaceful, legal, and aimed at demanding justice and an end to what he described as the persecution of Nnamdi Kanu.

“No empty noise, we go together peacefully, legally, and visibly to demand justice and an end to MNK’s persecution,” he added.
