The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) has faced criticism from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for urging President Bola Tinubu not to release Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the CNG spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, warned Tinubu not to be swayed by IPOB’s tactics and the demands from the South-East region calling for Kanu’s release.
In response, IPOB’s media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, released a statement on Wednesday, describing the CNG’s plea as a “ridiculous and shameful statement from an ignorant Coalition of Northern Group.”
IPOB pointed out that the CNG was unaware that the Appeal Court of Nigeria in Abuja had already acquitted and discharged Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. However, IPOB acknowledged the need to enlighten the CNG, despite their reservations.
“The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) advising the Nigerian President to respect the rule of law demonstrates their lack of understanding. Nigeria’s government is in violation of both local and international laws,” IPOB stated.
