In a festive message signed by Kingsley Kanunta Kanu, the representative of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, the family conveyed their heartfelt appreciation to Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other entities for their steadfast support of the self-determination leader.
The family extended thanks to the Chairman and members of the Joint Body of Southeast Traditional Rulers, Bishops, and Archbishops, as well as specific Southeast Governors and members of the National Assembly. The message also encouraged supporters who have faced blackmail or betrayal during Kanu’s trial not to be discouraged in their commitment to doing good.
The statement emphasized, “To all those that this may concern, we, the siblings of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby wish to express our heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional support and dedication to the cause of justice for our brother and head of our family, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, since his rendition from Kenya.”
Recognizing the unwavering commitment of certain Southeast civic and political leaders, the family acknowledged the impact of their efforts in seeking Kanu’s release and other forms of support. Special mentions were made to Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Joint Body of Southeast Traditional Rulers, Bishops, and Archbishops, as well as specific Southeast Governors and members of the National Assembly.
The family expressed genuine gratitude for the difference these interventions have made and the inspiration they have provided to others to recognize the injustice in the case. They also urged those who have been falsely accused or blackmailed not to relent, viewing such actions as the mischievous workings and betrayals of those who do not have the best interests of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Southeast at heart.
The message concluded with appreciation for the remarkable efforts and unwavering support, expressing hope for a positive outcome soon. The family wished everyone a Merry Christmas and extended best compliments of the season.
