He referenced the Yoruba leadership’s successful approach in securing the release of Sunday Igboho as an example of the power of unity and diplomatic strength.
“We recognize the historical precedents set by the Yoruba leadership exemplified in the release of Sunday Igboho, where steadfast solidarity and bold diplomacy carved pathways to justice.
“It is incumbent upon us, as guardians of our cultural heritage, to adopt a similar resolute approach, employing innovative and discreet tactics rather than the ineffective, superficial measures that have characterized our past engagements.
“In pursuit of this noble cause, Ohanaeze Ndigbo will embark on a strategic collaboration with all religious organizations active within Igbo land, be they Christian, Muslim, traditional, or Jewish.
“We shall consecrate the last weekends of each month throughout 2025 as sacred times for prayer, supplication, and ordinances.
“We will earnestly seek the countenance of Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) imploring divine intervention in the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, other prisoners of conscience in the country for restoration of peace throughout our homeland.
“As the leader entrusted with the voice of our people, I vow with utmost commitment to this cause.
