Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi,

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to grant the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, a presidential pardon.

‎Oluwo, in a statement by his Press Secretary, Ibrahim Alli, on Tuesday, said granting Kanu amnesty would go a long way in the full integration of his tribe into national discourse.

‎Oba Akanbi commended Tinubu for “running an all-inclusive government devoid of tribal discrimination,” noting that granting Kanu a presidential pardon would further entrench him as a detribalised President.

‎Oluwo acknowledged the post-civil war frustration among Igbos as a difficult wound to heal and noted Tinubu’s commitment to completely heal the damage incurred during the war.
