The Southeast Caucus of the House of Representatives meets in Abuja to review the recent judgment involving Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and to assess its impact on peace and stability in the region and across Nigeria.
Mediaplusng.com reports that the lawmakers acknowledge the court process but say the situation has grown beyond a legal matter, creating wider humanitarian, economic, and security concerns in the Southeast.
After extensive discussions, the Caucus appeals to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider a political and humanitarian intervention. They ask the President to apply his constitutional powers under Section 175 to grant pardon to Nnamdi Kanu, saying this step can ease tension and restore calm.
Mediaplusng.com also notes that the lawmakers warn that the continued detention has caused fear, disrupted daily activities, and fueled agitation. They believe a presidential act of mercy will help reopen dialogue, reduce security pressure, and support long-term peace efforts.
The Caucus urges residents in the Southeast to remain calm, law-abiding, and supportive of peaceful engagement. They reaffirm their commitment to national unity, inclusive governance, and a lasting solution to security challenges.
