Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, has revealed how the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, can regain freedom.
Umahi was speaking in Aba, Abia state during the inauguration of projects executed by Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.
He noted that the region must remain law-abiding and appreciative as efforts toward a political solution continue.
Umahi’s comments came amid renewed optimism over Kanu’s release, with Gov. Otti assuring that President Tinubu is “favourably disposed” to resolving the issue.
“I can assure you that I am engaging with Mr. President, and he is favourably disposed to it. I’m confident that in no distant future, Nnamdi Kanu will regain his freedom,” Otti said.
The call for Kanu’s release was also echoed by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South), who publicly appealed to President Tinubu during the event:
“Mr. President has done so much for us, but there is one thing left; please, release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu so we can have absolute peace in the South East,” Abaribe said to loud applause from the crowd.
