In a statement issued by IPOB spokesperson, Comrade Emma Powerful, the group accused Soludo of inconsistency and political hypocrisy, alleging that the governor had previously supported calls for Kanu’s release during earlier engagements.
IPOB referenced Soludo’s reported visit to Kanu in DSS custody in January 2023, during which he allegedly called for his release and even expressed willingness to stand as surety. The group also cited comments attributed to state officials suggesting ongoing efforts to secure Kanu’s freedom.
The organisation, however, expressed outrage that Soludo’s position appeared to have changed, describing his current stance as an attack on Peter Obi’s recent remarks advocating Kanu’s release.
“What changed is your ambition,” the statement read, accusing the governor of political inconsistency and betrayal of the Igbo cause.
IPOB also defended its long-standing demand for Kanu’s release, insisting it remains a matter of justice and not political negotiation.
The group said its position is supported by “well-meaning Nigerians across ethnic and religious lines” who have continued to call for his freedom.
Reiterating its demand, IPOB called for the “immediate and unconditional release” of Nnamdi Kanu, describing his continued detention as unjust.
