Mbazulike Amaechi, a former Minister of Aviation in the First Republic, has stated that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, will be released soon.
Amaechi made the remarks during a press conference in Onitsha, Anambra State, ahead of Kanu’s trial on Friday.
Last year, the former minister paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari with a delegation to discuss Kanu’s release.
Despite the president’s promise, he claims the activist was not released.
He went on to say that Igbo elders met with President Buhari shortly after Kanu’s arraignment in court and that ongoing negotiations indicated that Kanu would be released soon.
According to him: “Buhari gave us an audience and ever since then, negotiations between us and the Federal Government have been on to free Kanu.”
“Although, I am disappointed that up until now, Buhari has not released him despite assurances he gave to us on the day we visited him in Aso Rock, all hope is not lost as we are sure that Kanu will soon be released based on the ongoing negotiations.
“I will call on those agitating for one thing or the other to remain calm and be hopeful. Although, these agitations have demonstrated that only the release of Kanu will stop the agitations and we are working towards his release.”
Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after browsing through a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!
Good way of describing, and good piece of writing to take data concerning my presentation topic, which i am going to deliver in university.
When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I don’t know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
