Abia South Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has expressed his willingness to stand as a guarantor for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Abaribe made the remark while addressing journalists after
his visit to Governor Alex Otti of Enugu State.
He also urged President Bola Tinubu to listen to the
Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi and other stakeholders over
their calls to release Kanu.
Abaribe informed Tinubu that releasing Kanu would put a stop
to the issue of criminalities in the Southeast.
He said: “I expect that the President will listen to both
his Attorney General and every one of us who have been agitating that the
issues in the Southeast; first of all the insurgency, the sit-at-home on
Mondays and every other thing we have noticed in the Southeast, what we now
know in the Southeast is that criminals and all other people who advocate
violence have taken over and using the name Nnamdi Kanu to perpetuate all these
their despicable acts.
“We know that the President, being a listening President,
will also look at all the issues involved which we have presented to him from
various mediums and that he will do the needful and release Nnamdi Kanu so that
it will put a stop to all these things that are happening in the Southeast and
bring back the Southeast as the hub of production in Nigeria.
“So he needs Nnamdi Kanu out so that all those things that
are holding us down in the Southeast, that have made us not produce as much as
we ought to produce, will not be there.
“So, we continue to call on President Tinubu to release
Nnamdi Kanu and we are ready and willing to be guarantors for him to be
released so that we can have life coming back into the Southeast and take it
away from the criminals, kidnappers, the cultists and dangerous elements that
are floating around us who have made it a point that they would perpetrate
violence, do criminal activities and use Nnamdi Kanu’s name as their reason.”
Kanu remains incarcerated since June 2021 when he was
rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.
Upon his return to Nigeria, the Appeal Court in Abuja
ordered his release but the Nigerian government refused to let him off the
hook.
