Olisa Metuh, a Nigerian lawyer and politician, writes an open letter to the Minister of Justice regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
The letter is signed as follows:
“I write respectfully to request the immediate and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in light of the Court of Appeal’s decision in Abuja.”
“Many Nigerians have always urged for a political solution to the Nnamdi Kanu issue, but the Federal Government of Nigeria has insisted on the contrary.” The Federal Government is expected to comply with the Appellate Court’s decision now that it has been made clear.
“History calls on the President to abandon legalism in favor of reassuring and statesmanlike pragmatism, particularly in light of cases and situations like Nnamdi Kanu’s.
“As the longest-serving Attorney-General of the Federation in history, I implore you to use your wealth of experience, exposure, and knowledge to advise Mr. President and the Federal Government to use the Court of Appeal’s decision to enthrone lasting peace in the South East Zone and strengthen national unity.”
“It is unmistakable that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s immediate and unconditional release will pave the way for the reduction of armed conflicts, kidnapping, and civil unrest in the South East and its environs.” It is even hoped that such a release will relieve tensions throughout the country, especially at this critical juncture.
“Learned Silk, history calls.” God bless you with the courage, wisdom, and understanding to pursue this golden path.”
