As the October 20 nationwide solidarity march for the unconditional release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, continues to gain momentum, former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has written to the promoter of the peaceful protest and Rights Activist, Omoyele Sowore, declaring his support for the rally.
Similarly, the World Igbo Congress, IWC, has thrown its weight behind the protest, urging Ndigbo everywhere in the world to fully participate.
Senator Wabara, in a solidarity message he personally signed and addressed to Sowore, said every peaceful effort aimed at securing justice and national reconciliation had his total support.
The former Senate President, who is currently out of the country on a medical trip, said he would have loved to physically participate in the march but for his ongoing treatment.
He commended Sowore and all those promoting the march for their courage to rise against injustice.
The letter read in part:”I have been informed about the planned protest on the 20th of October, calling for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. I wish to commend your efforts and those of others who continue to speak up for justice and fairness in our country.
