(DDM) – The founder of Zion Ministry, Evangelist Ebuka Obi, has once again stirred national debate by demanding the unconditional release of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, during the grand finale of the Zion World program in Ngor Okpala, Imo State.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) correspondent reports that the three-day revival, which also marked the end of the ministry’s 100 days of fasting and prayer, drew an unprecedented crowd of worshippers from across Nigeria and the diaspora, turning the quiet Imo community into a major spiritual hub.
In an impassioned sermon delivered before tens of thousands of followers, Evangelist Obi condemned what he described as the “conspiratorial silence” of South-East governors, senators, and House of Representatives members over Kanu’s prolonged detention.
According to Obi, the same leaders who benefited from the support of the people during elections have now turned their backs on the masses by refusing to speak truth to power.
“What is happening to Nnamdi Kanu today is a test of leadership and conscience,” Obi declared. “Our leaders are supposed to be the voice of the voiceless, but instead, they have chosen silence and political convenience over justice.”
The preacher compared the Igbo political class’s response to that of Yoruba leaders, who, he noted, stood firm and united to secure the release of Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Igboho, from detention in Benin Republic.
“If Yoruba leaders could come together, speak as one voice, and work diplomatically for the release of Sunday Igboho, why can’t our leaders in the East do the same for Nnamdi Kanu?” he asked to thunderous applause.
Eyewitnesses told DDM that as Obi spoke, the massive crowd erupted in chants of “Free Nnamdi Kanu now!” and “Let justice prevail!”, turning the worship ground into a sea of raised hands and emotional cries.
The evangelist stressed that Kanu’s continued detention despite multiple court rulings in his favor reflects not only political oppression but also spiritual warfare against justice and truth.
He warned that until leaders of the South-East rise above political divisions and unite for the collective interest of their people, the region will continue to suffer marginalization, insecurity, and political instability.
“The problem is not just in Abuja,” Obi continued. “The problem is in our own land — our leaders have chosen fear over faith, comfort over conscience. But as the Church, we must speak up. Nnamdi Kanu deserves freedom. The East deserves peace.”
DDM correspondent observed that prominent clerics, community leaders, and traditional rulers were present at the Zion World event, many of whom nodded in agreement during Obi’s sermon.
The preacher also led a special intercessory prayer session for the peace and restoration of Nigeria, urging his followers to continue praying for national unity, fairness, and justice for the oppressed.
Since the sermon, social media has been flooded with clips and reactions from the event, with many Nigerians describing Obi as a bold voice in a time when most religious leaders have chosen silence on political injustices.
The Zion World program, themed “Power of Restoration”, concluded with testimonies, deliverances, and a symbolic prayer for the South-East, with the preacher declaring that “a new dawn is coming” for Nigeria if truth and justice prevail.
