Mascot Uzor-Kalu Urges President Tinubu to Ensure Fair Resolution in Nnamdi Kalu Case, Says Executive Intervention Remains Possible

Abia State 2027 governorship aspirant, Chief Mascot Uzor-Kalu (MUK), has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider a fair and just resolution regarding the recent conviction of Nnamdi Kalu.
Speaking on the issue, Uzor-Kalu underscored the importance of executive intervention in safeguarding national unity and ensuring that justice is balanced with fairness.

In a statement issued to journalists in Umuahia on Friday morning, Chief Mascot Uzor-Kalu expressed confidence in the President’s ability to deliver a peaceful and equitable outcome.

“The nation is watching, and history will remember how leadership responds in times like these. I firmly believe there is still room for a measured executive action that could restore hope and calm tensions across the region,” he stated.

Mascot Uzor-Kalu described President Tinubu as a leader with a listening ear, capable of considering appeals that promote peace and national cohesion.
“I know the President as a man who listens and considers the welfare of the nation. I believe he can exercise the wisdom and discretion necessary to address sensitive matters constructively,” he said.

He further stressed the importance of dialogue and reconciliation in managing high-profile cases, noting that while the judicial decision is binding, it does not eliminate the possibility of executive discretion in the interest of national harmony.

“Our democracy is strongest when our leaders act with wisdom and compassion. It is not about undermining the judiciary; it is about ensuring that equity aligns with the broader values of peace and unity,” MUK added.

He also urged stakeholders across the Southeast and the country to remain calm and patient as discussions continue.

“There is still hope—hope that leadership at the highest level can intervene constructively to prevent further polarization. Let us engage with reason, dialogue, and respect for the rule of law,” he affirmed.
“Now that the judicial process is concluded, let us pursue the political and diplomatic process to resolve and conclude this matter. All unnecessary utterances MUST stop; let’s focus on dialogue.”
