Why Tinubu Should Have Released Nnamdi Kanu: Insights from Deji Adeyanju
Deji Adeyanju, a prominent Nigerian activist and political commentator, has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration for not releasing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Adeyanju stated that Tinubu should have released Kanu earlier, highlighting the political and social ramifications of Kanu’s continued detention.
Adeyanju argued that the release of Kanu could help de-escalate tensions in the southeastern region of Nigeria, where IPOB has been advocating for secession and facing harsh crackdowns by security forces.
His comments reflect broader debates within Nigeria about the handling of separatist movements and the country’s approach to political dissent.
