The Concerned Igbo Ministers Commission (CIMC), has accused Igbo governors of continued silence over the detention of leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
While calling on President Bola Tinubu to intervene on the matter and end the injustice, the group equally urged Igbo governors to either act now or stop pretending to care.
In a statement by its President, Tony Uzor, CIMC said,”it is deeply worried and disappointed by the continued silence and inaction of most Igbo governors over the continued detention of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
It noted that after the conviction judgment delivered by Justice Omotosho, Igbo governors promised our people that they would urgently meet President Tinubu to seek a political and humane solution to this matter, “till today, only one governor has kept that promise — Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.The rest have failed our people,” the statement reads.
“This is no longer a matter of delay or logistics. It is now clear that many of these politicians are not sincere. Their repeated promises have turned into empty words.
Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case is not just about one man — it is about justice, dignity, and the future of our people.
Uzor alleged that many Igbo politicians are afraid of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“They know that if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released, their years of betrayal, silence, and cooperation with those oppressing Igbo people will be exposed. That is why, except for Governor Otti, they are comfortable watching an innocent man remain in detention.
“These politicians know Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is innocent.They know he genuinely loves the Igbo people and was ready to die for them.They know the Eastern Security Network (ESN) was created to protect our communities when governments failed to do so.
“They also know that criminals were later sponsored and dressed up as “agitators” to destroy the image of the struggle and blackmail the entire Igbo movement.
“Some of these governors do not want Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be free.
“They believe his freedom will end their political careers built on compromise and silence. But history is watching. God is watching. The Igbo people are watching.
“The group said contrary to media reports, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did not declare Monday sit-at-home.The people acted on their own out of pain and frustration.
“In 2022, when Governor Chukwuma Soludo visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at DSS custody, Kanu begged DSS officials to allow him speak to the people and call off sit-at-home and any form of unrest. Governor Soludo witnessed this and even joined in pleading with the DSS.
“It said “that refusal of the DSS created room for criminals — some backed by government interests — to hijack the situation, create insecurity, and then turn around to blame Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for violence he never authorised.”
