The meeting which was held at the white house villa with high Igbo Leaders; Chief Barrister Goddy Uwazurike, Aka Ikenga, and Mr Tagbo Mbazulike Amaechi was to discuss about the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Mr Tagbo Amaechi who highly pleads with the president to release Nnamdi Kanu, as the arrest has really divided the country also saying that the situation in the southeast is very hard with businesses, schools and works closed and people keep living in fear.
In the Meeting, the president had agreed to look into the matter and stated that since the matter is already in court that it would be very difficult demand but agrees that he is ready to consider the unconditional release Nnamdi Kanu.
You’ve made an extremely difficult demand on me as leader of this country. The implication of your request is very serious. In the last six years, since I became President, nobody would say I have confronted or interfered in the work of the Judiciary.
God has spared you, and given you a clear head at this age, with very sharp memory. A lot of people half your age are confused already. But the demand you made is heavy. I will consider it.
I said the best thing was to subject him to the system. Let him make his case in court, instead of giving very negative impressions of the country from outside. I feel it’s even a favour to give him that opportunity.
The President, according to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina.
