Rev Tony Uzo Anthony, President General, CIMC
In the open letter signed by Rev. Tony Uzo Anthony, President General/International Coordinator, and Apostle Tony Osuji, Secretary General, Concerned Igbo Ministers Commission, CIMC, expressed displeasure that the president and the South East Governors have not done enough to ensure Kanu’s release.
Last week, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, younger brother to Nnamdi, revealed their alleged deal with Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, with the approval of his father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“During his campaign in Imo State, the president promised that Nnamdi Kanu would be released during his presidency, but nothing has happened in nearly two years now.”
CIMC said it was unfortunate that no South East governor reminded Mr. President about Kanu’s release during his tour of the region.
The church ministers said it was now evident that the continued nonchalance of the South Eastern governors to the release of Kanu was the true reason for insecurity in the South East. (Daily Sun)
