Prince Emmanuel Kanu, the younger brother of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the prolonged detention of African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.
El-Rufai has been in detention for several months following
his arrest and prosecution by the Federal Government.
The former Kaduna State governor is facing trial for alleged
corruption during his time in office. He was also charged for allegedly
wiretapping the telephone of National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu.
In a Facebook post on Thursday, addressed to El-Rufai,
Prince Emmanuel said if the former minister had rallied behind Kanu, the same
solidarity would have been extended to him now that he is in detention.
Noting that injustice to one is injustice to all, Prince
Emmanuel observed that El-Rufai’s detention mirrors the IPOB leader’s travails.
The post read, “Your Excellency, I’m truly sorry for what you’re experiencing.
“It mirrors what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu — my brother and leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra — has gone through and is still going through.
“Had we rallied behind him when he spoke truth to power,
perhaps the same solidarity would be here for you today.
This is a reminder that injustice has no tribe and no
religion.
“What hurts you today, hurt others yesterday. May this be
the moment we decide to stand together, for all.”
