Lawmaker representing Abia South, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, says he believes President Bola Tinubu will release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
He said the Attorney General of the Federation and others had already advised Tinubu to release Kanu. He said he hoped that as listening leader, Tinubu would release the IPOB leader as a measure of tackling insecurity in the southeast.
Speaking to reporters in Abia, Abaribe said, “I expect that the President will listen to both his Attorney General and every one of us who have been agitating about the issues in the Southeast. First of all, the insurgency, the sit-at-home on Mondays, and every other thing we have noticed in the Southeast.
“What we now know in the Southeast is that criminals and all other people who advocate violence have taken over and are using the name of Nnamdi Kanu to perpetrate all these despicable acts.
“We know that the President, being a listening man, will also look at all the issues involved, which we have presented to him from various mediums; that he will do the needful and release Nnamdi Kanu so that it will put a stop to all these things that are happening in the Southeast and bring back the Southeast as the hub of production in Nigeria.”
He said with Kanu’ s release, the southeast could become more productive.
He said, “You cannot tax people who don’t produce.“He needs Nnamdi Kanu out so that all those things that are holding us down in the Southeast, that have made us not to produce as much as we ought to produce, will not be there.
“We continue to call on President Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu. We are ready and willing to be the guarantors for him to be released so that we can have life coming back into the Southeast and take it away from the criminals, kidnappers, the cultists and dangerous elements.”
