Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, representing Abia South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has said the lawmakers from the South East region are ready and willing to become guarantors for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Abaribe who also expressed optimism that President Tinubu Will release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu stated this on Sunday, January, 5th, when he alongside his wife paid Governor Otti a visit. Speaking to the press on the release of Mazi Kanu, after meeting with the Governor, Senator Abaribe described President Bola Tinubu, as a listening leader, expressing the hope that he will give heed to the advice of the Attorney General of the Federation and others advising and appealing for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
He said: “I expect that the President will listen to both his Attorney General and every one of us who have been agitating about the issues in the South East.
First of all the insurgency, the sit at home on Mondays and every other thing we have noticed in the South East, what we now know in the South East is that criminals and all other people who advocate violence have taken over and using the name Nnamdi Kanu to perpetuate all these their despicable acts”. “We know that the President, being a listening President, will also look at all the issues involved which we have presented to him from various mediums, that he will do the needful and release Nnamdi Kanu so that it will put a stop to all these things that are happening in the South East and bring back the South East as the hub of production in Nigeria”, “The President wants to pass a tax bill that has to do with production. You cannot tax people who don’t produce.
So he needs Nnamdi Kanu out so that all those things that are holding us down in the South East, that have made us not to produce as much as we ought to produce, will not be there”. “So, we continue to call on President Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu and we are ready and willing to be guarantors for him to be released so that we can have life coming back into the South East and take it away from the criminals, kidnappers, the cultists and dangerous elements that are floating around us who have made it a point that they would perpetrate violence, do criminal activities and use Nnamdi Kanu’s name as their reason”, Senator Abiribe stated.
Senator Abaribe questioned why people would be killing people they claim to be agitating on their behalf, stressing that it is not the proper way to agitate.
