In a release on Sunday February 9th 2025 and made available to journalists in Owerri , Jidechukwu Iwuanyanwu urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the matter by applying political solution to it for fairness, equity and justice.

He said: “My dad’s last outing was to the DSS facility to see Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He was made to walk for over 20 minutes as they didn’t let him drive in to see Kanu. Undettered, my father sojourned on to see Kanu, and had a father, son moment with Kanu.

On returning home, my father complained of his heart and retired to his room to rest.

The next morning he broke down, and was rushed to the hospital.

He was at the hospital till his death. While at the hospital he was still fighting for Kanu’s release and the realization of South East Development Commission for the betterment of Ala Igbo.

I’m sure if he were alive he would have been happy to see one of his wishes come true”.

Jidechukwu noted that his father was a man of peace and a man who loved his people Ndigbo and Nigeria at large.

He used his influence as PG Ohaneze Ndigbo to champion economic development, fairness, equity, justice and peace in the land, noting that Kanu’s release will bring further peace and also end the Monday seat at home in the South East zone.

His businessess which spread across Nigeria were all tailored towards building a greater Nigeria, where he hired people from all parts of the country to come together as one Nigeria.

“As Mazi Nnamdi appears in court tomorrow, I therefore use this opportunity to urge the Federal Government to not let my father’s death be in vain, for his wish to be granted in releasing Mazi Kanu, which will also bring peace to our nation, the Igbo”, Jidechukwu stated.

Recall that Chief Dr Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu Ahaejiejemba was laid to rest on the 1st of November 2024 and it was a global burial ceremony attended by the high and mighty.
