‘Let’s rally stronger now,’ Aguocha calls on Igbos to act

Obi Aguocha, a Nigerian lawmaker representing Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has called for action from the Igbo community.

The lawmaker, in a statement released by Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, called on Igbos to rally behind Nnamdi Kanu and demand for his freedom.

Aguocha spoke about leadership, stating that true leadership is about telling the truth with courage when it matters the most.

“As Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s primary representative, I have remained firm and consistent at representing and advocating for his cause and calling for a quicker yet sustainable political solution towards his unconditional release from detention. I stand fully with the bold and courageous invocation by our Royal Father, Igwe Agubuzu. It is refreshing to note a respected elder like him speaking up without fear of intimidation or contradiction, reminding every conscience that justice, equity, and fairness are not selective. It is self-evident and constitutionally guaranteed to every Nigeria citizen. We are all equal under the law. My brothers and sisters across Igbo land and beyond, this is truly our moment of renewed hope. When men of such stature rise to demand for what is right and just. It should fire us up even more. Let’s rally stronger now, more than ever, behind Mazi Nnamdi Kanu potential release from detention,” he stated.

The lawmaker also urged President Tinubu to grant justice regarding Kanu’s case. He stressed that Igbo’s will no longer accept being treated like second-class citizens in the country.

“The ball is truly in your court now, President Tinubu. I pray that you do not lose sight of this glorious moment. Justice delayed is justice denied. Very soon, we will surely remember. Ndi Igbo, our unity is our strength, and voices like Igwe Agubuzu’s has shown the world that we are not accepting anymore second-class citizenship status in Nigeria. Together, nothing can stop us,” the lawmaker added.
