Former governor of Anambra State and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
‎
‎Senator Ngige has also expressed his regret that former President Muhammadu Buhari did not order the release of Kanu despite leading prominent leaders of the Igbo extraction to him for the release of the IPOB leader
‎
‎Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Wednesday, the former Minister noted that the continuous incarceration of Kanu has worsened both the security and economic situations in the South East.
‎
‎He said that what was required in the IPOB leader’s case was a political solution, and urged the President to show magnanimity in that direction.
‎
‎The former Anambra State governor said that the continuous detention of Kanu and the sit-at-home on Mondays in the South East has crippled the economy of the zone.
