In his words:
“On the issue of Nnamdi Kanu, his release does not mean that insecurity will be completely eliminated. The call is in the best interest of the South East as a whole.
“He (Kanu) was saddened by the level of crime associated with the agitation when I visited him in prison. He called it an abomination. “Everyone has now become a freedom fighter, using it as an avenue to commit a crime. The truth is that if he is released, he will be able to distinguish between genuine freedom fighters and criminals.
“What is still holding him back is a political issue. I am awaiting confirmation of appointment with the President to hand him the letter officially.”JAMB Result
