\n

Labour Party lawmakers in the South-East, under the aegis of South-East Labour Party House of Assembly Caucus, have called for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

Kanu has been in detention since 2021, after he was arrested in Kenya by the Federal Government and repatriated to Nigeria to face trial.<\/p>\n

The South-East LP lawmakers, at a press conference in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday, said Kanu\u2019s release will quell insecurity in the zone.<\/p>\n

The caucus leader, Jude Ifeanyi Umennajiego, who addressed journalists on behalf of the 11 other members of the group, said: \u201cWe express happiness and gratitude to the South-East Governors, Senators and House of Representatives members on their recent resolve to interface with the Federal Government for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see it as a demonstration of leadership and show of concern for the people. We therefore, lend our voices in appealing to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to, as a matter of urgency, release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so as to douse the current ravaging insecurity in the zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis insecurity has grounded the economy of the region and has occasioned unprecedented loss of human lives as well as destruction of property.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis release will act as a healing balm to the region and also encourage the feeling of oneness as a nation. It will also separate genuine agitators from criminals in the business of kidnapping.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LP lawmakers also called on governors of the South-East region to grant full financial autonomy to the State Houses of Assembly in accordance with the Constitution and the principle of separation of powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will go a long way in ensuring more robust assemblies, by enhancing their functionalities in the area of law making, oversight and other attendant legislative duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the example of the Federal Government, it will deepen democracy in the states and ensure more quality and effective representation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The caucus consisted of lawmakers from from Anambra and Enugu Houses of Assembly. They include Jude Ifeanyi Umennajiego, Kingsley Udemezue, Nigeria Chidinma Mbachu, Nkechi Ogbuefi, Justice Azuka, Harrison Ogara, Eze Gabriel, Malachy Onyechi, Raymond Ugwu, Fred Ezenwa and Osita Okoh.<\/p>\n
