As I stand at the forefront of a pivotal moment in our nation's history, I, Satguru Maharaj Ji, founder of the One Love Family, cannot remain silent. The incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), weighs heavily on my conscience. It is not just a personal matter; it is a matter of justice for our people, a quest for freedom that transcends individual suffering. My declaration regarding Kanu’s release is rooted in righteousness and a commitment to securing a better future for all.

In a recent interview, I made it clear that I will take actionable steps to secure Kanu's freedom, provided that those advocating for him understand the need for change. They must cease the Biafra radio broadcasts and end the sit-at-home orders that have become synonymous with our struggle. This is not about abandoning our cause; it is about redefining our approach to ensure success. If we are to stand for justice, we must do so with integrity and strength, not empty words.

I am acutely aware of the serious charges against Kanu, including accusations that could lead to the death penalty. The gravity of these allegations cannot be dismissed. However, we must see this as an opportunity to negotiate a political resolution that honors the struggles of our people. It is imperative that we work together, with our hands full of solutions, rather than complaints. We need to accept the judgment and navigate the political landscape with wisdom. Our elders should engage in serious dialogue with the President to advocate for our rights and interests.

The current political dynamics, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have placed the Igbo people at the center of national politics,a development that has not gone unnoticed by the Northern elite. They are unhappy because we are finally asserting ourselves. We will not be silenced by propaganda claiming that the East faces Islamization. Instead, we will stand united and resolute in our demands for justice and equality.

My commitment to assist in Kanu's release aligns with the efforts of passionate political figures like Abia State Governor Alex Otti and activist Omoyele Sowore. They are tirelessly working through legal and political channels to seek Kanu's freedom. The meeting between Governor Otti and President Tinubu is a crucial step in this ongoing dialogue. It is through these collective efforts that we can bring about the change we so desperately need.

Kanu's life sentence, imposed by Justice James Omotosho, following convictions on multiple counts of terrorism, is a stark reminder of the stakes involved in this struggle. But we must not allow despair to cloud our vision; instead, let it fuel our resolve. As we rally for a political solution, let us remember that our voices matter, and our actions can lead to significant change.

The clamor for Kanu's release resonates deeply within the South-East and beyond. It is a reflection of a larger fight for representation, justice, and equity within Nigeria. I stand ready to lead this charge, to unite our voices and actions in pursuit of a common goal. Together, we can navigate the complexities of our political landscape and emerge victorious, not just for Nnamdi Kanu, but for all who seek justice in our beloved nation.

In this time of uncertainty and unrest, let us embrace our responsibility to speak truth to power. The quest for justice is not merely a personal battle; it is a collective endeavor that calls for our unwavering commitment and passion. Together, we will forge a path toward freedom and reconciliation,a path that honors our past while bravely stepping into a brighter future.
