Nnamdi Kanu: As Election Politics Intensifies, Some Youths Ask, ‘Who Is Speaking for Him?’

Nearly a year after Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment and transferred to the Sokoto Correctional Facility, some youths expressing views online are questioning whether political competition and electioneering have pushed his case further down the national conversation. Their concern is particularly directed at political leaders and influential figures from the South-east, with some asking why more attention appears to be focused on elections, campaigns and political alliances while Kanu remains incarcerated.
