As the head of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra State, has promised to formally request Nnamdi Kanu's release (IPOB).
During an appearance on Channels TV's Politics Today, Soludo said this.
The governor has publicly declared his willingness to act as a surety for the imprisoned IPOB leader.
Kanu is being tried for treason and acts of terrorism.
Abubakar Malami, AGF and Minister of Justice, claimed in an interview that Soludo had not submitted such an application.
However, when asked about the recent event, the former CBN governor said, "They (the Federal Government) would receive that letter in a few days. And I'm taking this extremely seriously.
“It’s not something personal. It’s about the life, security and well-being of the entire South East. We need to be serious and get into this conversation. We want this election to go peacefully in the South East.
“We want everybody to participate. We want peace and security to return. We want a long-time transformation for this place to secure and a very prosperous component of Nigeria.
“But you need all the stakeholders around the table. I thank the president for his assistance with what they call the kinetic approach: the force, the shooting and all the armed forces. They have been helping us; but we need to bring this to a sustainable conclusion.”
