Buhari won’t release Nnamdi Kanu, Uzukwu declares, blasts Igbo political leaders
The Spiritual Head of Soul Revival Outreach Nnewi, Anambra state, Bro Iyke Uzukwu says President Muhamadu Buhari is not really ready to release the leader of the Indigineuos People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is currently detained by DSS in Abuja.
Uzukwu, a fiery Prophet stated this in Nnewi on Sunday.
He said that Buhari would not free Kanu contrary to expectations of early release of the leader of secessionist group.
Uzukwu declared “it is the next Nigerian president who will take over from the incumbent in 2023 that will actually free the IPOB leader.”
He, however, said that no amount of intimidation would stop Nnamdi Kanu from the freedom struggle.
“He is passionately committed to concluding the journey which Chief Emeka Ojukwu started in 1967. Kanu has been consistently speaking about marginalization of the Ndigbo in the geographical expression called Nigeria.
“Nnamdi Kanu has assumed the leadership of Ndigbo because the political leaders rather than talk about the evils being perpetrated against their kiths and kin decided to play the ostrich by keeping quiet in the face of the unprecedented injustices against Igbo nation.
“Whoever that underrates the leader of IPOB will be doing so at his own risk,” he stressed.
Uzukwu said that the smartest thing Buhari would do is to tow the path of reason and allow Kanu go home in peace.
“A lot of criminal elements have taken advantage of the insecurity in South East, committing all manner of atrocities, killing, kidnapping and stealing.
“Nnamdi Kanu must be released so that he can address the people who are seeing him as the reining undisputable Igbo leader.
He, however, thanked President Buhari for the second Niger bridge, but Ndigbo deserve much more than that.
“We need international seaport in Onitsha, there is railways acrossing the northern parts of Nigeria, even in some cases extended to other African nations, yet there is none in Igboland,” he added.
He called for compensation and apology to the Igbo youths who have been in detention for over 15 years only to be discharged and acquitted recently by the Federal High Court in Awka.
“Terrorists are being compensated on the flimsy excuse that they have repented while Igbo youths are being marked for destruction.” He declared.
The Prophet while speaking on the 2023 general elections said that any politician who is more than 60 years old should not aspire to contest for presidency.
He said that President Buhari’s lack of control of his administration due to old age is enough reason for old people to allow younger persons with youthful energy come into the saddle of leadership.
“Many corrupt government officials fled the country when President Buhari came on board in 2015 but today, corruption has become the order of the day under his watch which I believe is caused by his inability to control the cabals due to his old age.” He emphasized.
The Prophet who prophesied about the plans to set up the Apostle Johnson Suleiman of Omega Fire Ministries in 2019 said that the plan against the Auchi based pastor is still on.
He said that some people are actually playing games with the man of God but added that people will start confessing their roles in the plot to set up Apostle Suleiman when they start reaping the fruits of their attack on an innocent man of God whose ministry is still experiencing great growth not minding the satanic schemes.
Uzukwu however urged the president of Omega Fire Ministries Auchi, Edo State to remain prayerful especially against temptation.

Son of the late head of state and former Minister of Defence, Chief Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, in a letter of remembrance and solidarity written on behalf of the Aguiyi-Ironsi family to the Fajuyi family, marking the 60th anniversary of his death, said July 29, 2026, will be a solemn occasion to honour a soldier they described as “a war hero who offered himself as a sacrificial lamb for the unity and integrity of the nation.”
The family recalled that Lt Col Fajuyi, then Military Governor of the Western Region, made the ultimate sacrifice in 1966 when mutinous soldiers abducted him alongside Maj Gen Aguiyi-Ironsi in Ibadan during the military counter-coup.
They stated that Fajuyi, in a defining moment of conscience, chose honour over personal safety and refused to abandon his guest and superior, a decision the family said reflected the highest ideals of loyalty, integrity, and military brotherhood.
According to the statement, his action transformed him into a national martyr whose legacy continued to inspire unity, courage, and selfless service.
The Aguiyi-Ironsi family also expressed sympathy with the Fajuyi family, acknowledging the enduring pain of their loss, while praying for continued strength, comfort, and peace.
The statement further stated, “He did not run. He did not hide. He chose to stand. In that sacrificial decision lay the essence of his greatness.”
The family called on government institutions, military authorities, and custodians of national memory to ensure sustained recognition and support for the Fajuyi family, stressing that his sacrifice remained a national responsibility to remember and honour.
It urged Nigerians to draw inspiration from his life and death, noting that his legacy continues to challenge the nation to uphold unity, courage, honour, and selfless service.
Fajuyi was killed on July 29, 1966, during the military counter-coup in Ibadan alongside Aguiyi-Ironsi.

The emergence of Chief Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere as the Minority Leader of the Federal House of Representatives has been described as a vindication of the fact that the Action People’s Party (APP ) represents the collective interests of the Nigerian masses.

According to a statement by the Chairman Anambra state chapter of the APP Chief Chijioke Okeke, Ugochinyere had been consistent in offering himself as the voice of the people and that of the voiceless.
“It did not come to us as a surprise that our great leader High Chief Ugochinyere became the Minority leader of the Federal House of Representatives because he has always been consistent and focus towards providing himself as the only vent for the masses at the Green Chambers”
“We know his pedegre as a politician as well as a leader and he has remained focus in ensuring that the voiceless are heard and this is also a vindication of our party’s unflinching desire to provide a veritable platform in a democratic process”
Okeke further stated that the fifth columnists who had attempted to deregister the party have been put to shame adding that the party shall continue to champion the interests of the Nigerian people.
“They made failed attempt at deregistering our great party but they lost sight of the fact that the APP is firmely rooted on ground and has all that it takes to drive the wishes and aspirations of the Nigerian populace and with this recent development our traducers have been put to shame and our party is on the path of further greatness “. Okeke noted .
