Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has proclaimed that his elder brother is still the individual with the solution to Nigeria's many challenges.
Speaking with ABN TV on Tuesday, Prince Emmanuel described his brother as a "Prisoner of Conscience," who is being unjustly held by the Nigerian government despite his clear vision for justice, fairness, peace, and good governance.
According to him, "Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of Nigeria; he is actually the solution Nigeria needs to overcome its current challenges — from insecurity to corruption, from marginalization to bad governance."
Prince Emmanuel was upset that the Nigerian government chose to put Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in prison instead of talking to him or listening to his ideas for a better society. He thought the government was wrong to call Kanu a threat, when he actually wanted peace and justice.
"The truth remains that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a prisoner of conscience. He is not in detention because he stole public funds, killed anyone, or committed any crime. He is in detention because he spoke against injustice, oppression, and marginalization," he added.
He further emphasised that if the Nigerian government can swallow its pride and engage Kanu in genuine dialogue, many of the country's problems will find lasting solutions.
"Kanu is a man of ideas, peace, and wisdom. He has always advocated for peaceful coexistence, equity, fairness, and justice. Silencing him will never silence the truth he represents," Prince Emmanuel stated.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu is asking the world to help free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He believes Kanu is being unfairly imprisoned and should be released without any conditions. He thinks history will remember Kanu as someone who fought for justice and freedom for his people, not as a criminal.
