Gov Soludo Again Calls For The Release Of Nnamdi Kanu

Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, Governor of Anambra State, has once again called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, stating that a letter seeking his release will be delivered to the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, within a few days.

Recall that Governor Soludo had demanded the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu during the APGA Campaign Flag-Off at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.

In a recent interview with Channels TV, Governor Soludo emphasized the importance of all parties coming together to address Nnamdi Kanu as a key player in order to maintain the peace and security of the South East.

He requested that Kanu be released either unconditionally or on administrative bail, for which he is willing to stand as a surety.

He said, “He will receive that letter in a few days time. I am very serious about this because it is not about Chukwuma Soludo. It is about the lives, security and properties of the entire Southeast.

“We need to be serious about this. We want this election to go peacefully in the SouthEast, we want everybody to participate. We want the long-term transformation of this place to become a very secure and prosperous component of Nigeria but you need all the stakeholders around the table.

“There is someone who is critical in this conversation. We need him around the table. We can’t have sustainable prosperity if we can’t have sustainable peace and to have that sustainable security, we need the critical forces around the table and that is why I will continue to push on this and I want to believe that other leaders in the SouthEast and all men and women of goodwill in Nigeria will join in this call because we want the SouthEast to be part of this election.

“We need Nnamdi Kanu and as I said, my request is in two folds. Either grant him unconditional release as per the court judgement or if there are other circumstances or reasons why he is being held, then grant him administrative bail and I am prepared to stand as surety I don’t even mind keeping him here at the government house and to provide him whenever he is required.”
