The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has been advised to see the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, as part of the solution to Nigeria’s problems.

A chieftain of the All Progressive Grand Alliance in Abia State Chieftain and member representing Aba South state constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, Obinna Ichita, made this appeal in Aba, stating that Nigeria should instead of persecuting or calling for Nnamdi Kanu’s head, see reasons in most of the germane issues he raised and look for a way of genuinely addressing them.

Ichita called on the President not to jettison the appeal by respected Igbo elders and Bishops to free Kanu.

The lawmaker maintained that a political solution remained the best option to resolve the issue of agitation for self determination spearheaded by Kanu and commended the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, for saying a political solution to Kanu’s matter is possible.

According to Ichita, “Even if the President had not wanted to shift grounds over Kanu’s matter, because respected Igbo elders and bishops are now involved, he should soft-pedal for their sake”.
