IPOB Leader Is The One holding Nigeria – Chinedu Ekezie

After Omoyele Sowore called on governors and senators to join him in demanding the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, his call stirred widespread controversy. Among the many reactions, one comment stood out: “IPOB leader is the one holding Nigeria.” This statement wrongly blames Nnamdi Kanu for the nation’s problems, oversimplifying the complex political, ethnic, and economic issues Nigeria faces. While Kanu’s activities remain divisive, claiming he alone is “holding Nigeria” ignores the roles of governance, corruption, and systemic failures. Such comments deepen polarization instead of fostering dialogue and understanding about the real challenges affecting the country.
