AN UNCOMPROMISING CALL FOR ACCOUNTABILITY FROM THE DESK OF GENERAL ASABUJA
“If I support a cause, I follow it to the very end—through the rain and through the fire. I am demanding to know: Where do you stand? The January 27th court date is a litmus test for every “Core Igbo” person”
Listen to me clearly, because I won’t repeat this twice.
I am watching the landscape, and what I see is a shameful display of cowardice. We are currently in January 2026. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has faced a life sentence, and as we approach the critical January 27th hearing for his transfer from the isolation of Sokoto, the silence from certain quarters is not just deafening—it is a betrayal.
To Our Wealthy Businessmen and Captains of Industry:
You have built empires on the backs of the Igbo people. You enjoy the title of “Nwanne” when it is time to open markets, but when the legal rights and the very life of an Igbo son are on the line, you go into hiding. You have the resources to fund top-tier legal advocacy and the international connections to demand a fair hearing. Why are you acting like strangers to your own blood? A man who makes money but cannot defend his brothers is merely a wealthy slave.
To the Igbo Diaspora and Foreign Communities:
You live in lands where justice is a right, yet you remain silent while your kinsman is denied a fair hearing in his own home. You have the platform to lobby foreign governments and international human rights bodies. To pretend that what happens in the courts of Nigeria does not affect you is a delusion. You are part of this community by birth, not just by convenience.
To the Influencers and Celebrities:
I see your millions of followers. I see your daily posts about “lifestyle” and “luxury.” But when it comes to the safety and judicial transfer of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, your mouths are sealed with fear. Are you more afraid of losing a “brand deal” than you are of the erosion of justice for your people? You use the Igbo identity to gain “clout,” but you abandon the community when the fire is hot. That is not influence; that is opportunism.
My Final Stand
I, General Asabuja, do not hide my face, and I do not hide my mouth. If I support a cause, I follow it to the very end—through the rain and through the fire. I am demanding to know: Where do you stand? The January 27th court date is a litmus test for every “Core Igbo” person who claims to have a voice. You either stand for the safe transfer and fair hearing of Nnamdi Kanu, or you should stop claiming the Igbo name.
I am watching. The people are watching. History is recording.
Signed,
General Asabuja
Voice of the People, Defender of the Truth.
