Nnamdi Kanu’s long road to freedom revisited

Sir: Nnamdi Kanu’s incarceration has taken a new turn with the Supreme Court’s recent reinstatement of terrorism charges against him. This development has dashed hopes for Kanu’s swift release, leaving his supporters with a long and uncertain wait.
 

My appeal to Nnamdi is to learn from King Rehoboam’s mistake. Rehoboam rejected the wise counsel of elderly advisors, while embracing the counsel of the young men who grew up with him. Similarly, Nnamdi should be cautious of those around him, including barristers, who may be driven by self-interest rather than his well-being. They may be fueling the conflict to maintain their relevance, as they would lose their purpose if Nnamdi were to abandon his IPOB stance. Nnamdi, remember that discretion is often the better part of valor. Consider embracing peace when President Tinubu offers it, rather than prolonging your detention unnecessarily.
