Release Nnamdi Kanu To Me, I’ll Be His Surety – Prominent South East Governor Begs Buhari
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra State, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the imprisoned leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The governor also offered to serve as a surety for the IPOB leader, who is still being held by the Department of State Services (DSS).
This comes just days after Channels Television reported that Senate Chief Whip and former Abia State Governor Orji Kalu had offered to stand as Kanu’s surety if he was granted bail again.
Soludo, speaking at a rally in Akwa, Anambra State, to launch the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) national campaign, emphasized the importance of critical conversations involving all major stakeholders about the deteriorating security situation in the South-East.
“I now want to appeal and plead and request and demand of the Federal Government and our able president led by President Buhari that a critical person [is] required around that table for that conversation to be complete for us to have an all-round approach to dealing with the issue of insecurity and discussing the future of the South-East.
“That person – and we need him urgently around the table, please release him to us – and that is Nnamdi Kanu. I’m calling on the Federal Government to please release Nnamdi Kanu,” he said.
Bianca Ojukwu, the late Chukwuemeka Ojukwu’s wife, was seen applauding the governor and smiling broadly.
According to Soludo, the South-East needs Kanu at the table, saying the people of the region are prepared for a “comprehensive, heart-to-heart conversation” about the future, security, and prosperity of the geopolitical zone.
“No one should be left behind; everybody should be there. If we cannot release him unconditionally as requested by the court judgements and so on, I now offer to be the surety. Release him to me. I will keep him. Release Nnamdi Kanu to me.
“I will keep him. I will provide him shelter and anytime that you need him, we will bring him to you. Give him to me, we will house him here in Awka. Let us release him and let us bring this insecurity in the South-East to an end,” the governor said.
