  • Former President Obasanjo clarified that discussions with South-East Governors did not include the release of Nnamdi Kanu
  • South-East senators and House Caucus urged President Tinubu to intervene to release Nnamdi Kanu

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has refuted claims that the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was discussed during his meeting with South-East Governors on Tuesday.

The South-East Governors Forum, chaired by Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, had resolved to meet with President Bola Tinubu to seek Kanu’s release following their meeting in Enugu, Enugu State.

In response to reports suggesting otherwise, Obasanjo clarified through his special assistant on media, Kehinde Akinyemi, that the discussions during the meeting primarily centred around regional development issues such as security, infrastructure, and economic cooperation. He emphasized that Nnamdi Kanu was neither on the agenda nor discussed during the meeting.

Separately, 15 senators from the South-East held a closed-door meeting with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, urging for Kanu’s release. Led by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, they also submitted a letter to President Tinubu appealing for his intervention.
