Obi Aguocha, the National Assembly representative for the Ikwuano/Umuahia constituency, has revealed that former President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged not to oppose the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu through a political resolution.
Aguocha made this statement after visiting the former President in Daura, Katsina State. His purpose was to seek Buhari's intervention and support for a political resolution regarding Nnamdi Kanu's ongoing detention and trial.
During the meeting, Aguocha also apologized for any missteps or utterances made by his constituent, Nnamdi Kanu. He emphasized the importance of promoting understanding and unity.
Former President Buhari welcomed Aguocha's approach and assured him that he would not oppose a political solution for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's release.
This meeting is part of a broader initiative to secure a speedy political resolution and Kanu's subsequent release, in the spirit of dialogue and non-contentious approaches to resolving national issues.
Aguocha expressed confidence that with the former President's assurance and the letter of appeal he led 50 House of Representatives members to write to President Bola Tinubu regarding Kanu's conditions, the IPOB leader would soon be released through a political resolution.
