Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has met with former President Goodluck Jonathan to discuss the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Sowore disclosed the meeting in a post on X, revealing that Jonathan called for a fair and decisive resolution to Kanu’s case. He said the former president also pledged to meet with President Bola Tinubu soon to discuss the matter.
Sowore, who plans to lead a march to the Presidential Villa in Abuja on October 20 to demand Kanu’s release, thanked Jonathan for supporting the call for justice and national reconciliation.
He noted that other prominent Nigerians, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), and ex-Senator Shehu Sani, have also expressed similar concerns.
Atiku has since endorsed the planned march, describing it as a legitimate push for human rights and constitutional freedoms.
