The 2023 Young Progressive Party (YPP) Deputy Governorship candidate and founder Caades Group, Dr Chima Anyaso, has called on the nation’s president to wade into action, following the life imprisonment sentence of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by Justice James Omotosho yesterday.
Anyaso who said the sentence has since left the people of South East in pain and worry, appealed for a quick intervention of President Bola Tinubu.

As a young man from the South East, I’ve tried to stay quiet about the Mazi Nnamdi Kanu matter not out of fear, not out of weakness, but because I have always believed that anger alone cannot solve our problems. But today, my heart is heavy.
What is happening to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has gone beyond politics. It has become a painful reminder of how much hurt, frustration, and abandonment my people feel. Every young Igbo man I know carries this burden in one way or another… and the tension is eating deep into the soul of our region.
Mr. President, we are begging with respect:
Please, look into this case again. The South East is bleeding. Our youths are losing hope. Families are living in fear. The longer this drags on, the deeper the insecurity grows and nobody wins in the end.
We are not asking for special treatment… we are asking for fairness. For understanding. For a political solution that will help calm our land and give our young people a chance to breathe again.
I speak today because silence can be misunderstood. I am not weak. I love my people. And I love this country enough to say the truth:
Peace in the South East is possible but justice must lead the way.
May God touch the hearts of our leaders and heal our land.
Dr Chimaobi Desmond ANYASO
OFUJI NDI IGBO
