The former deputy president of the senate and speaker ECOWAS parliament on the 7th of January made known his stand on solving Nnamdi Kanu’s case with a political solution.

The lawmaker who made this known during an interview with Enugu’s Dream FM revealed that at this point the only solution feasible in the Nnamdi Kanu matter is Political solution.

Commenting on what he meant, he said “I watched the Channels Television interview and I don’t think Mr. President ruled out a political solution. In fact, I would have been surprised if he said he would just release Nnamdi Kanu because there is independence of every arm of government, including the judiciary. There are procedures”.

Recalling Mr President’s response when he led a delegation of the South East Caucus of the Senate to see him on the Nnamdi Kanu issue in November 2016, he said “we kept reaching out and dialoguing until we had a political solution, which resulted in the judiciary granting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a bail.

“So, we will keep working on a political solution, nevertheless. We will keep engaging the government, just as we will continue to appeal to our youth and people to ensure the stability and prosperity of our region”, he said.

Speaking on his visit to the Biafran leader and why it was not made public, he said “In line with the political solution, which the South East Caucus of the National Assembly is quitely pursuing, I led a delegation of some Igbo leaders like the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe; Secretary-General, Amb. Okey Emuchay; and a Bishop of the Methodist Church of Nigeria and Co-Chair Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace, Bishop Sunday Onuoha.

“As usual, I deliberately didn’t want to make it public because it is a quiet service we are rendering to Ndigbo and the nation. But the DSS eventually made it public in one of their statements.

“I did lead a delegation to interface with the Kanu and the authorities. We had useful conversations. We have equally made some requests and we are waiting for a feedback from the government to make progress”, he concluded.
