Campaign for Democracy gives Pres. Buhari 7-day ultimatum to release Kanu, Metuh, Dasuki

Campaign for Democracy, South East Zone,
yesterday, called for the immediate release of the
leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu, the Publicity Secretary of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisah Metuh and
the former National Security Adviser to President
Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).
In a statement in Onitsha, Anambra State, CD
expressed concern that Pres. Buhari had formed
the habit of cracking down on Igbo leaders at any
slight provocation.
In the statement by its chairman, Dede A. Uzor,
CD said it wasn't fair that the Pres. refused
to release Kanu despite being granted bail, just as
he also refused to obey the court order which
granted Dasuki bail to travel abroad for his
medical check-up.
The statement, gave Buhari a seven-day

ultimatum within which to release Kanu, Metuh
and Dasuki from detention or else CD would
mobilize more than 70 million Ndigbo, both home
and in the Diaspora, to carry out a mass protest
against their continued detention.
The statement noted that CD was not against
arresting any corrupt public officers, but reminded
Buhari of the need to obey the sanctity of court
orders or rulings, which he swore to uphold.

He said:
“Buhari should tell us how many All
Progressives Congress, APC, members he
has arrested for corrupt practices or does it
mean that APC members are all clean,
including the former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo, who allegedly spent over $16
billion on power sector reform without
anything to show for it?”
