To reestablish peace in the South East, President Bola Tinubu has been urged to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
The counsel was given by Most Rev Professor Emmanuel Chukwuma, Archbishop of Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Anglican Communion, at an Ohanaeze thanksgiving ceremony at the Cathedral of Good Shepherd in Independence Layout, Enugu.
The festival of gratitude is held in remembrance of Igbo Day, which will be celebrated in Enugu on September 29.

Chukwuma pleaded with Tinubu to abide by the court’s ruling that released and cleared Kanu in October of last year.
Quoting him, “We must make Tinubu obey the rule of law. Nnamdi Kanu must be released. They should stop deceiving themselves. Let them release Nnamdi Kanu to Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and see what will happen.
“Thank God we are overcoming sit-at-home on Mondays. Alaigbo must not be wasted. Let us revive the economy of South East.”
During the thanksgiving, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the president general of Ohanaeze, praised the governors of the five South-East states for their assistance to him since taking office.
Igbo would soon restore their greatness, he promised, with this support and that of other Igbo leaders, especially Ndigbo in the Diaspora.
