Senator Dickson Calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s Release: Political Solution to End Separatism in Nigeria Now

Henry Seriake Dickson, a Nigerian senator and former Bayelsa governor, calls for a political solution to release Nnamdi Kanu after his 20 November 2025 life sentence on terrorism charges, emphasising that arrests alone do not end separatist movements.
Drawing parallels to Nelson Mandela's 27-year imprisonment and Isaac Boro's 1966 Niger Delta agitation—resolved via amnesty under General Gowon—Dickson argues for dialogue to foster patriotism and address economic grievances in south-eastern Nigeria.
The post condemns violence across regions, urges humane treatment of Kanu amid security strains, and rallies support for restructuring Nigeria under President Tinubu to promote inclusion and halt insecurity.
