PRESIDENT BUHARI TO IGBO LEADERS: YOUR DEMAND FOR NNAMDI KANU’S RELEASE IS HEAVY. I WILL CONSIDER IT

An unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), currently standing trial, runs contrary to the doctrine of separation of powers between the Executive and Judiciary, President Muhammadu Buhari has said.

Receiving a group under the aegis of Highly Respected Igbo Greats, led by First Republic parliamentarian and Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, at State House, Abuja, the President told the 93-year-old statesman:

“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.”

Stressing his policy of non-interference with the Judiciary, President Buhari said when Kanu jumped bail, got arrested and brought back to the country, “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 condoled with Chief Amaechi, who recently buried his wife, praying that her soul would rest in peace.

The nonagenarian had described the situation in the Southeast as “painful and pathetic,” lamenting that businesses have collapsed, education is crumbling, and there is fear everywhere.

He pleaded for a political, rather than military solution, requesting that if Kanu was released to him as the only First Republic Minister still alive, “he would no longer say the things he had been saying,” stressing that he could control him, “not because I have anything to do with them (IPOB), but I am highly respected in Igbo land today.”

Chief Amaechi said twice he had interfaced with Nnamdi Kanu in the past, and the latter rescinded orders earlier given on civil disobedience.

He concluded: “I don’t want to leave this planet without peace returning to my country. I believe in one big, united Nigeria, a force in Africa. Mr President, I want you to be remembered as a person who saw Nigeria burning, and you quenched the fire.”

Other people in the visiting delegation were; His Excellency Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former Governor of Anambra State, Bishop Sunday Onuoha of the Methodist Church, Chief Barrister Goddy Uwazurike, former President of Igbo socio-cultural group, Aka Ikenga, and Mr Tagbo Mbazulike Amaechi.

It's really an assailable demand on Mr. President to erroneously terminate a judicial process that is in motion.

Danjikanbauchi:
Buhari is a criminal MNK really exposed their plans and activities.

Igbo leaders should as a matter of urgency put their house in order arm their people and seek for international support because by next year Buhari and fulani/Kanur plans against the southern Nigeria will be fully implement and no escaping for anybody in this country even Yoruba Muslims will not be not escaped.

Not going to happen unfortunately. You mean release Kanu like that? The best is to let the courts take their decision

The only political solution to Kanu's case is to avail him a fair trial. Anything short of this will be immoral, grossly inconsistent, demeaning and unacceptable.

Shut up Zombie, Someone around you should tie you up & throw you inside River Niger, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Idiko1:


I shall say without equivocation that Femi Adesina is very ignorant and should be any place near the corridor of power. Judiciary does not lead the prosecution of any crime or gather evidence for prosecution. The functionality of who gets prosecuted or not prosecuted lies in the corridor of ministry of justice which is an executive branch of the government not judiciary. If the ministry of justice decides to withdraw the charges or even withdraw the case, the courts have no business to oppose such endeavor. Nigeria is termed basket of fools because of the goons such Femi Adesina who swims in the corridor of power due to nepotistic tendencies. Nigeria needs to disintegrated so that people with correct social order can become advisers not jackasses such as Femi Adesina.

LordviccoDaGuru:


IT can never happen Buhari will never release that Terriorsts

Biafrannuke:
Kanu's extraordinary rendition and current 'trial' does not have the support of the UN and international community, it obviously does not have the support of Igbo masses. Now, the Igbo elders have also made their stand known. The only people going ahead with their foolhardiness are the Fulani cabal headed by malami and their social media BMC lunatics.

aribisala0:
There is already evidence of interference so the claim is ridiculous
If he is sincere than he should allow Kanu to be transferred to prison and let the police instead of the DSS provide security at the court

I also do not support Buhari releasing Kanu because that would make him look like a nice guy and I doubt that kanu wants that either . Let them go to court . If Kanu is convicted then we can talk about amnesty/clemency etc but for now the court process is not flowing

Buckeyemedia1:
Delegates from other tribes will soon storm Aso Rock to heap on the President, do not intervene in a court process, mind you I thought ipobians said President Buhari was dead, then who did their leaders go & visit in Aso Rock?
