Mr Omoleye Sowore, a human rights activist has declared that he will set aside his political differences with some notable politicians from the Southeast region of Nigeria to pursue a cause of releasing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention.

He however slammed some political leaders from the zone for making empty noise and rhetoric when they call for the release of Kanu, while tasking them to take action by joining him in the protest to the Villa.

In a post on his X handle, which he tagged some prominent political figures from the Southeast zone, Sowore urged any politician from the Southeast with good conscience that wanted the release of Nnamdi Kanu to join the protest..

In his tag, he was specific that the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti and the presidential candidate in the 223 general election, Mr Peter Obi to join him in a “peaceful and legal protest” to the villa.

Sowore 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 @NnamdiKanu released to stop the rhetoric.

“Time for action is NOW. Let’s march to 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, @SenatorAbaribe , @alexottiofr , @PeterObi, 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. #FreeNnamdiKanuNow.”
