Senate Minority Leader, Enyinaya Abaribe, has insisted he would stand surety again for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, given the same circumstances.

Abaribe stated this on Wednesday during an interview on TVC’s Journalists Hangout.

The lawmaker explained that he stood surety for Kanu, because it was a condition imposed by the court.

According to Abaribe, the court ordered that one of the sureties must be a Senator, and as the Chairman of the Southeast Senators Caucus then, he had to offer himself.

When asked whether Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who is now the Chairman of Southeast Caucus, would agree to stand as sure for Kanu should the need arise, Abaribe said he would not know.


Abaribe said: “There is a difference between jumping bail and escaping for your life. I went back to court and deposed that on the basis of the principle of ‘last seen’, that the last people seen with him were soldiers of the Nigerian army who were invading his father’s residence.

“The judge ultimately ruled that she was revoking bail and issued a warrant of arrest, thereby removing us from the responsibility of providing him.”

Abaribe was then asked if he would be willing to stand surety for Kanu again, if the IPOB leader was offered bail.

He replied: “If the circumstances are the same, then why not?

“The first time, the judge said they needed a Senator to be part of his sureties. So if a judge says that again that they need a Senator, I don’t see why I won’t. I am a Senator and I come from the South East.

“We can’t run away from our responsibility. He’s our son. He’s from our state (Abia)

I like the never say die spirit of the Igbos

This man Abaribe is indeed a hero. he has done for Nnamdi Kanu and the igbos what Tinubu will never do for Sunday Igboho and the entire Yoruba race .

Nice one, I’m not Igbo and I don’t support kanu’s style of self determination but I really love hearing those statements made by Abaribe he’s really representing well it’s not a must to please the government at the centre

The problem is there won't be bail condition this time..

ONE! of the 3Wise MEN we Have HERE in the EAST!!

They will change tactics this time ohh... You for no talk that last part SIR!

Whatever!!

Hopefully they might need an EX PRESIDENT THIS TIME!!!!

It's his responsibility, Kanu is from Abia State, Abaribe represents Abia State in the Senate

Who will even grant bail to that animal again?

Abaribe dey take style dey campaign for 2023 election. If you know you know

This guy jail they hungry am. Buhari right now

if this is how to campaign then he has shoot him self on the foot, the northern elders will rather die for him.to emerged president. U self they think na if this is how to campaign ouk and okorocha would ve speak out. Or he is going for governor in his state and that depend on who abia governor pick in d primaries

Abaribe!

I think he meant senate or maybe abia governorship

The same person who instigated the killing and destruction of lives and property in the same country that you represent? This is not good.

Abaribe is digging the hole that might bury him. I was fancying him for SP should a yoruba & northerner become President and VP next.

He’s hurt his chances standing with a questionable character. Its not up to me but all the political players are watching. Another igbo man I fancy has taken the L. I’m disappointed.

If a Tinubu would bail an igboho; he’d never do it directly. Its not being a coward, its tact. The battle doesn’t end, its an ever continuous marathon. You must remain in the mix to keep fighting for your people & interest.

Igbo Amaka.
Ofu obi(one heart) we go there on d 26 & 27th of July. Whatever condition they adduce,we'll fulfil it even as it is, Sen. Ike Ekweremmadu would gladly sign for his bail out. The recent happenings in d cow_ntri has shown that d center cannot hold any longer and very soon d wind of change will blow.
If d Northeners can stand with . Isa Pantami,Sheik Gumi,Boko Haram, Bandits,Kidnappers & Killer herdsmen, We d Igbos are solidly behind MNK. I also want to applaud d SW people for standing behind their own son Igboho.

This guy knows Nigerian Politics.

HERDSMAN WE DON HEAR YOU, NOW GO AND EAT YOUR GRASS MEAL IN PEACE

Abaribe the true son of the soil, a great man indeed.

Abeg who go run am for igboho

After everything with , MNK, ESN, UGM, IPOB & all, I reckon the APC/North would rather handover to Tinubu or whoever he picks. The igbos have blown their chance at the presidency with Buhari just when they were so close.

PrinceOfLagos:

God bless Abaribe, he has proven beyond words to be a true Igbo leader. God bless you, Sir
