Grant Nnamdi Kanu presidential amnesty - Oluwo begs Tinubu

Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwo, has called on Nigerian President Bola Tinubu to grant presidential amnesty to Nnamdi Kanu, the prominent leader of the Biafra Nation agitators. The monarch expressed his belief that such a gesture could significantly contribute to strengthening national cohesion within Nigeria.

In a statement released by his media aide, Ibrahim Alli, Oba Akanbi likened the situation to a broader effort needed to unify the country. The appeal comes at a time when discussions around national unity and separatist movements continue to be sensitive topics in Nigeria.

The Oluwo of Iwo's plea suggests a perspective that reconciliation and dialogue, rather than solely enforcement, could be key to addressing internal divisions. Granting amnesty to Kanu, who faces charges related to secessionist activities, would represent a significant political decision with potential implications for the ongoing agitations for Biafra.
