Hon. Obi Aguocha has expressed encouragement over the recent decision by the court requesting the presence of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This development, along with the continued clamour from well-meaning Nigerians for his release, represents a significant step towards addressing the broader concerns surrounding his prolonged detention.
While an outright and unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the most just and desirable outcome, Hon. Aguocha believes that granting him bail on health grounds would be a meaningful step forward in the pursuit of a political resolution. Given the urgent humanitarian considerations at play, ensuring his access to proper medical care outside of detention would demonstrate the government’s commitment to justice, peace, and national reconciliation.
Hon. Aguocha commends all individuals and groups advocating for a peaceful and diplomatic resolution to this matter. He reiterates his call for the federal government to consider the overwhelming appeals for clemency and a political settlement, recognizing the importance of dialogue and unity in strengthening Nigeria’s democratic values.
“The continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has deepened divisions and heightened tensions. A humane and lawful approach either through an outright release or bail on health grounds would serve as a confidence-building measure towards national cohesion,” Hon. Aguocha stated.
Hon Obi Aguocha remains committed to working with all stakeholders to foster dialogue, promote peace, and ensure that justice is served in a manner that upholds the rule of law and the collective aspirations of the Nigerian people.
