The Digest:

Enyinnaya Abaribe has called the life sentence of Nnamdi Kanu a preconceived outcome. The former Senate Minority Leader expressed a weary resignation, framing the verdict as an event long foreseen by the Igbo nation and those who champion equity.

Key Points:
  • Senator Abaribe responded to the life sentence for IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu.
  • He stated the conviction was a foretold event and not surprising.
  • Abaribe highlighted a perceived irony in government negotiations with other groups.
  • He pointed to amnesty for ex-militants and talks with northern terrorists.
  • The lawmaker suggested this reflects a selective application of justice.
  • He urged the Igbo people to remain calm and not take the law into their hands.
  • Abaribe placed the matter's resolution on the desk of President Bola Tinubu.
The reaction underscores a deeper narrative of regional disparity, where the scales of justice are perceived to tilt not on principle, but on geography and identity.
