On October 2, 2024, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide appealed to President Bola Tinubu to grant a political pardon to Nnamdi Kanu. The group urged the president to prioritise peace in the Southeast by releasing Kanu, stating that his freedom would end the violent sit-at-home protests paralysing the region. This move is seen as a way to foster unity and peace between the Igbo people and the rest of Nigeria.
