ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- A former Abia State Governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has appealed to the Federal Government of Nigeria, to embrace political solution and free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Chief Whip of the Senate, in a video released in Abuja, called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to take advantage of the Court of Appeal ruling which discharged and acquitted Kanu.
He appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to see reason if the government can build on political solution through the judgement, since there were records of a court of competent jurisdiction.
According to him: “Most times, I have gone to the detention to see Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and discussed with him deeply and I want the Federal Government of Nigeria to try this option of using the judgement of the Court of Appeal for a political solution in releasing him and we will be able to see how far the political solution will go with us.
“I thank President Buhari who is the father of the nation, I thank the Attorney General for his judicial counsel and he will see reason with us.”
