Shocking! Popular Politician Drops Bombshell, Reveals What Will Happen Once Tinubu Release Nnamdi Kanu- Details Emerge
Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has called on President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). In a live broadcast on Arise News, Kalu argued that there is no reason for Kanu’ s continued imprisonment. He emphasized that while the government cannot be coerced, an appeal is being made to the President for fairness and equity.
Kalu highlighted that other detainees have been released in similar situations and urged President Tinubu to extend the same consideration to Kanu. He believes that releasing Kanu could contribute to peace and stability in the Southeast region of Nigeria, allowing local authorities to handle issues related to criminal activities without military intervention.
Kalu also acknowledged President Tinubu’ s efforts to address long- standing grievances in the Southeast through the establishment of the South East Development Commission. He commended the President for his courage in initiating this development agency, which he believes addresses the region’ s need for reconciliation, reconstruction, and rehabilitation that has been unmet for decades.
Kalu drew a parallel between Tinubu’ s proactive measures for the Southeast and former President Buhari’ s approach to addressing issues in the Northeast. He argued that such targeted interventions are crucial for meaningful progress and urged the youth in the Southeast to focus on constructive processes rather than protests.
Overall, Kalu’ s and Ejimakor’ s statements reflect a broader call for fairness and a resolution to longstanding issues in the Southeast, urging the Nigerian government to take steps towards equity and reconciliation.
