Nigeria’s opposition leader, Peter Obi, has once again expressed concern over the life imprisonment handed to IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, emphasizing that coercive measures should be a last resort. The report was published by Tribune on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
Obi highlighted that the sentencing comes at a time when Nigeria is grappling with severe economic difficulties, rising insecurity, and long-standing governance challenges. He cautioned that the timing of the verdict could deepen societal divisions rather than ease national tension.
The former presidential candidate stressed that dialogue, inclusive governance, and constructive engagement are more effective strategies for achieving lasting peace and stability. “I have always maintained that Mazi Kanu should never have been arrested. For years, I have consistently argued that dialogue, constructive engagement, and inclusive governance offer the path to lasting peace. Coercion becomes necessary only when reason has been exhausted,” Obi stated.
He further noted that alternative approaches could have prevented escalation and that resolving complex national issues requires careful consideration of both social and political impacts.
