Human rights lawyer and political activist, Dele Farotimi, has said the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, was correct in everything he said about Nigeria.
Farotimi made this assertion in a video posted on X on Wednesday and sighted by DAILY POST.
According to him, Nnamdi Kanu’s criticisms of Nigeria have been validated by recent events in the country.
He argued that the failure of the Nigerian government to tackle systemic issues and its tendencies to imprison rational voices while allowing criminals to remain free have worsened national instability.
“Nigeria has proven Nnamdi Kanu right at every point. I have no single argument against the facts that have been adduced by Nnamdi Kanu in his agitation against the Nigerian state, not one.
“And if you press a little further, I am today convinced that Nnamdi Kanu was 110% correct in his assessment of the Nigerian state.
“He was correct, but today he sat in a cell somewhere, and numerous murderers are walking around free. That is vindication. The man is correct. Nigeria encourages madness.
“If it does not listen to rational voices, it becomes inevitable that more extreme voices will be spoken in the language that Nigeria understands.
“I’ve had multiple occasions to address separatist agitators, both in Igboland, in Yoruba land, and elsewhere,” he said.
