In a press statement posted on his X account, Obi said that Nnamdi Kanu’s conviction should force citizens to reflect deeply, especially now that the nation is battling economic hardship and escalating insecurity.
According to him, the fact is that Kanu’s arrest and detention were avoidable, and the entire episode has been further proof of a leadership failure.
He stated that the grievances Kanu raised are not new or impossible to resolve; therefore, wisdom and empathy were required to maintain peace and harmony.
