The acquittal of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has been praised by the Peoples Democratic Party chapter in Ebonyi State.
This was stated by Chika Nwoba, the state’s PDP publicity secretary, in an interview with one of our reporters on Thursday.
One of the few positive pieces of news he had heard this year, he said, was Kanu’s release.
“It goes a long way to dispel the widespread perception of our judiciary that it is a conquered institution both locally and globally.
“The release of Kanu by the Appeal Court will relieve the South East of what today seems to be an obdurate new order whose embrace was compulsive.
“The vexatious sit-at-home culture will come to an end. Many ill-informed things occasioned by his incarceration will end, and we may begin to enjoy our peace of mind again.

“It’s very important that Federal Government releases him as ordered by the Court.
“APC-led Federal Government is known for disobedience of court judgements. This one should not be disobeyed due to how dire the need to release the captive is.
“Members of the public should pressure the government to do the needful immediately. So, it’s a good development: the release of Kanu.
“If not for any other thing, it’ll return the South East to its former place of economic boom which was truncated by this incident of incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu. I welcome him back to the free society.”
Also, a socio-political organisation in Igbo land, the Alaigbo Development Foundation, hailed the judgement.
Its Secretary-General, Chief Abia Onyike, said, “It is a positive development. It shows that a peaceful resolution of the Igbo Question in Nigeria is feasible.”
An elder stateman in Ebonyi State, Ichie Chukwujekwu Orji, said, “The cause Nnamdi Kanu is pursuing is a cause everyone likes.
“And because of the type of constitution that was foisted on the people of this country with all the lies being told against us by our leaders, let us go back to the 1963 constitution and start enjoying this country once more. I hail the judgement.”
