Reacting to the National Assembly Joint Committee's recommendations on constitutional review, Kalu commended the efforts of those working tirelessly to ensure the realization of this vision. In an exclusive interview with Sunday Independent, Kalu highlighted the historical marginalization of the South East region, citing denial of balance of power, unequal revenue allocation, and inadequate representation in the federal parliament.

Set Nnamdi Kanu Free And Become Eze Ndi Igbo: Tony Kalu Appeals to President Tinubu

The message appeals to President Tinubu’s authority as Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, stating that freeing Kanu would not only earn him the revered title of “Eze Ndi Igbo” (King of the Igbo people) but also secure his legacy and political future. The letter warns that the upcoming protest organized by Omoyele Sowore should not be suppressed by force, but rather preempted with an act of mercy—releasing Kanu…
