Ndubueze, the President Normal Emeritus of Afaraukwu Umuahia, made the assertion in an announcement made out there to newsmen on Saturday.

Within the assertion titled ‘Kanu, Sowore and the lies of Charles Ogbu’, Ndubueze countered claims made by a public affairs analyst, Ogbu, regarding the deliberate protest march to the Presidential Villa to demand Kanu’s launch.

Ogbu had, in a write-up titled ‘Kanu, Sowore’s protest and the remainder of us’, claimed that the deliberate protest march might delay Kanu’s launch. Nonetheless, Ndubueze insisted that the courts usually are not chargeable for the IPOB leader’s continued detention. He additionally faulted Ogbu’s claims that Kanu was behind the insecurity in the South-East.

The assertion learn, “The entire fact about Kanu’s case: Charles Ogbu needs folks to consider that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s matter is only a regular court case that’s being delayed by his legal professionals. That could be a lie.

“The reality is that this: the Attraction Court already discharged Kanu since October 2022. The judges mentioned the way in which he was kidnapped from Kenya and dropped at Nigeria was unlawful and that no Nigerian court has the ability to attempt him once more. So there isn’t any trial that anyone is “delaying”. What’s keeping Kanu in detention now could be disobedience to court order by the federal government. If this nation was regular, he would have been dwelling way back.”

Ndubueze additionally faulted Ogbu’s comparability of Kanu’s trial to that of Simon Ekpa in Finland.

“Finland is just not Nigeria: Ogbu in contrast Finland’s fast trial of Simon Ekpa to Kanu’s case. That is mindless. Finland didn’t kidnap Ekpa or torture him. Their courts obey the regulation. Nigeria’s leaders don’t. So cease evaluating a clear nation to a lawless one,” Ndubueze mentioned.

The community leader backed the deliberate protest march being organized by Sowore.

Ndubueze added, “Sowore has the appropriate to protest:Ogbu mentioned Sowore’s protest will “delay Kanu’s launch”. That’s one other trick to discourage folks from talking out. Protest is a human proper. No one ought to be afraid to demand justice peacefully. Those that say “don’t protest” are solely serving to the oppressor to maintain doing evil quietly.”

Disputing Ogbu’s views on the insecurity in the South-East, the assertion mentioned, “Who actually triggered the insecurity in the South-East? Let’s face details. When Kanu was exterior Nigeria, there was peace in the South-East. Folks went to markets and faculties freely. The killing and burning began after the federal government refused to launch him and despatched troopers throughout Igboland.

“That was when the so-referred to as “unknown gunmen” appeared. Many of them have been authorities brokers despatched to color the East as violent so that folks would hate Kanu. Amnesty Worldwide and different teams reported this. So how can anybody blame Kanu for one thing that began after he was locked up?

“The faux “broadcast” story: Ogbu mentioned he has Kanu’s movies the place he advised folks to kill others. If actually such movies exist, why didn’t the federal government convey them to court since 2015? Not one choose has ever seen any real recording like that. Was it not the military that invaded Kanu’s home and killed 28 folks that triggered Kanu to flee Nigeria? Charles Ogbu is that this true or false? Did TY Danjuma, DGSS Tosin Ajayi ask folks to defend themselves? However it’s Kanu you singled out since you undergo from the identical Igbo illness you complain about with out it. It’s referred to as envy and jealousy.

“What the safety folks such as you did was to chop and twist Kanu’s outdated speeches to make him look unhealthy. That’s propaganda. Ogbu saying “I’ve it on my telephone” is just not proof. Convey it to court. So that you need Kanu to say you can purchase flowers for killers of harmless residents simply because they have been protesting. Anybody can faux a clip.”

Distancing Kanu from the sit-at-dwelling, which has grounded financial actions in the South-East, Ndubueze mentioned, “The Monday Sit-at-Residence lies: Ogbu additionally claimed that Kanu ordered the Monday sit-at-dwelling. That’s false and a black lie and it. The sit-at-dwelling began after Kanu was taken away. It was Simon Ekpa who introduced that insanity, not Kanu. You declare you’ve movies of Kanu in your telephone, however you don’t have the one of him in court calling for an finish to sit down at dwelling. You don’t have the movies of him in court saying repeatedly that if he’s launched insecurity would cease inside two days? You didn’t hear IPOB leaders say many occasions that no extra sit at dwelling? You’re a liar and deceiver and folks like you may’t legitimately declare they’re Igbo by blood.

“It was the anger and hopelessness of folks after seeing Kanu’s illegal detention that made some youths hearken to Ekpa and this. So once more, the basis of the issue is injustice, not Kanu. Many individuals know that Charles Ogbu has lengthy labored for Ike Ekweremadu and different politicians who betrayed the identical Igbo folks they declare to serve. Keep in mind when IPOB members in Germany challenged Ekweremadu in 2019? Since that day, Ogbu has by no means forgiven them.

“That’s the reason he now assaults Kanu — to please his political masters and to get favor from Abuja. His article is just not about fact. It’s about bitterness and envy.”

Ndubueze went forward to establish these he described as the true enemies of the Igbo.

“The actual enemies of the Igbo folks
Igbos are their very own worst enemies certainly. You might be proper, however not in the way in which you assume. The actual enemies of Igbos are: The governors who referred to as troopers to shoot their very own youths. The politicians who proscribed IPOB as an alternative of defending their folks. The writers and talkers like Ogbu who assist the oppressors by spreading lies.
These are the individuals who bought Igboland for crumbs. Not Kanu.

“What Kanu actually stood for: Earlier than his arrest, Kanu wakened many younger Igbos and Nigerians at massive. He taught them that they’ve rights and shouldn’t reside like slaves in their very own land. That message scared corrupt leaders. That’s the reason you and corrupt politicians joined the Federal Authorities to silence him. He might not be good — no human being is — however his message was clear: freedom, justice, and dignity for his folks.

“Charles Ogbu’s write-up is just not about peace; it’s about complicated folks. He blames the sufferer and praises those that triggered the issue. However time will inform. Historical past will bear in mind Kanu the way in which it remembers Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, and all who have been as soon as referred to as rebels however later celebrated as heroes. And historical past will bear in mind Charles Ogbu and his sort as males who used their pen to defend oppression. I really feel sorry for these listening to him.”`
