Abia lawmaker Obinna Ichita has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime to apply a political solution to the case of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Mr Ichita, representing Aba South constituency, made the appeal in a statement issued on Thursday.
According to him, solving Mr Kanu’s lingering case through a political approach will usher in a lasting solution and permanent peace in the South-East.
“As always, I am in support of a political solution to the issues that Kanu has with the Nigerian state. Many eminent and well-meaning Nigerians believe that Kanu’s continued detention is largely responsible for the current tension and security breaches in the South-East,” explained Mr Ichita.
The Abia lawmaker urged Mr Buhari to heed the appeals by eminent Nigerians to win their respect and confidence, recalling the special appeal by a delegation of Igbo leaders, led by Mbazulike Amaechi.
