Otunba Segun Showunmi from the Alternative Movement wants Tinubu to cut Nnamdi Kanu loose through some kind of political deal instead of letting him rot in prison. A federal judge handed the IPOB leader a life sentence after convicting him on terrorism charges for radio broadcasts that apparently sparked violence, and authorities shipped him off to a correctional facility in Sokoto.
Showunmi told journalists at an event in Abeokuta that keeping the separatist leader locked up just fires up troublemakers who are already causing chaos in the southeast. He pushed back on claims that the court decision had tribal bias, saying only appeals judges can figure out if justice got mishandled. The activist runs a civic platform trying to get younger Nigerians more plugged into electoral politics rather than operating as an actual party.
