Release Nnamdi Kanu to end Southeast violence – Ojukwu’s brother begs Tinubu
Lotanna Ojukwu, younger brother to the late Biafra warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, has suggested ways President Bola Tinubu can end the sit-at-home and insecurity challenge in the Southeast.
He urged Tinubu to discuss with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in an attempt to end the insecurity challenge in the region.
Lotanna said discussing with Kanu would subdue the pressure of the sit-at-home and insecurity.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, Lotanna also urged the Federal Government to reach out to the Finnish government over the activities of Simon Ekpa.
The Finish-based Ekpa has been linked to the aggravated violence caused by the sit-at-home in the Southeast.
However, Lotanna said: “I appeal to Tinubu to step into this matter, one-fifth of the country is being held hostage, and people can go to work and their business. This has affected our economy and the morality of people who know what is happening.
“This is a terrible shame, the security situation is a no-hanging fruit to Tinubu, who has proven he is ready to tackle security issues. This is something he must attend to urgently.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has appealed to “those jumping ship” from the party to “calm down,” saying the party must not go down.
Chief George stated this in an interview with Arise TV on Wednesday.
George urged aggrieved members of the PDP to stay put and resolve the party’s problems.
Recall that the G5 — an aggrieved faction of the party — met with President Bola Tinubu at the state house in Abuja a few weeks ago.
Similarly, former governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, and foremost member of the G5, had also met with the President several times.
The meetings have left the public with speculations that the members of the G5 were considering a defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on the issue, George said PDP members “must never allow this party to crack up.”
He said, “We are still in court, and everyone still thinks they can win. Until the court decides who actually won the election, it will be a futile exercise trying to bring all sides together.
