"I have said this repeatedly, there is no reason for detaining Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. You cannot arrEst somebody just because the person is speaking on radio. I am a politician, people have been calling me names. If I am in government today, I will discuss and engage with all agitators.”

🚨🎙️Didier Drogba: "African Teams Cannot Keep Paying The Price"
With what I'm hearing, I don't think this is heading in the right direction.
First, Ghana could be without Thomas Partey for an important match because of issues unrelated to the competition. That's a huge setback, not just for the team but for the entire country.
Now we're hearing reports of Senegalese fans facing visa difficulties. How is that fair? Imagine playing one of the biggest matches of your life without the support of your fans in the stadium.
Football is about competition, atmosphere and national pride. Supporters are part of that experience.
I think something has to be done and adjusted immediately because, from where I'm standing, it feels like African teams and African supporters are the ones being affected the most.

There is No Reason to Detain Nnamdi Kanu. He Did Nothing Wrong — Peter Obi
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has reiterated his opposition to the continued detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, insisting that no one should be arrested simply for expressing their views.
Speaking in Washington, Obi said he sees no justification for Kanu’s detention and urged authorities to embrace dialogue rather than repression when dealing with agitators.
“I have said this repeatedly, there is no reason for detaining Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. You cannot arrest somebody just because the person is speaking on radio,” Obi stated.
Drawing from his own experience in politics, the former Anambra State governor argued that criticism and name-calling are not criminal offences.
“I am a politician, people have been calling me names, it’s not an offence,” he said.
Obi extended his position to all separatist and political agitators across the country, saying engagement remains the most effective way to address grievances and preserve national unity.
“Even all agitators; if I was in government today, I will discuss with them and engage with them, I will consult them. Because I believe if they have a reason for whatever they want to do, it’s only by engaging them we will learn and see how we can resolve this,” he added.
The former presidential candidate, however, acknowledged that he currently holds no government office and therefore lacks the authority to act on such proposals.
“But I am not in position to do anything today,” Obi said.
