Rep. Amobi Ogah (LP-Abia) begged President Bola Tinubu to free Nnamdi Kanu as a favour for the people of South Eastern Nigeria.
Ogah, a member of the House of Representatives who represents the Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency of Abia, made the request in a statement on Monday in Abuja.
He asserts that the proscribed IPOB leader’s protracted arrest is to blame for the unrest in the South East area and that the president should free him as a sign of respect for N’digbo.
Ogah said Kanu’s release would expose criminal gangs using the detention to cover their act of terrorism in the South East.
He noted that the president had done so much, but added that the only point of disagreement was the issue of giving only five ministers to the entire South East.
He appealed to the president to balance it, to show he really loved N’digbo as well as release Kanu, so that insecurity in the South East would reduce.
“The issue now is that we don’t even know those who are behind the insecurity in the South East.
“IPOB will tell you they are not the one, Eastern Security Network will tell you they are not involved.
“But some will say the reason is because they are holding Nnamdi Kanu. So my prayer to Mr. President is that he should give him (Kanu) to us as a gift,” he said.
