The governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has stated that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, who is currently been detained, will soon be freed.
During President Bola Tinubu’s one-day official visit to the state on Friday, which was accompanied by Minister of Works Dave Umahi, Governor Alex Otti voiced the trust.
“I can assure you that I am engaging with Mr President. He is favourably disposed to it, and I am sure that in no distant future, Nnamdi Kanu will regain his freedom,” Otti said.
He emphasised that he had a long-standing relationship with Tinubu and described the president as a man of his word.
“Mr President and I have been friends for decades. Whatever he wants to do, he will tell you, and if he will not, he will say so. Having made promises, I am sure he will keep them,” he noted.
Speaking on behalf of President Tinubu, the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, urged residents of the South-East to remain united and peaceful.
“I ask the people of the South-East to unite and come together. As your brother, I have listened to the messages for Mr President and the comments of the governor of Abia State,” Umahi said.
The minister gave assurances that regional leaders were working to find a political solution for Nnamdi Kanu’s situation.
