The Leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate
Elijah Ayodele, on Thursday urged President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal
Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu.
Primate Ayodele said Kanu should be released because he
isn’t the problem of insecurity in the South East.
He noted that the basis of the attacks in the South East was
caused by the grievances of the people on how they have been prevented from
getting into power.
In a statement by his media aide, Oluwatosin Osho, the man
of God noted that the government will soon understand it and Kanu will be
released soon because keeping him in prison will not add value to peace in the
South East zone.
Primate Ayodele commended Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra
State for visiting Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services,
DSS.
He advised all southern governors to follow suit for the
sake of peace.
The cleric restated the fact that Kanu isn’t the problem of
unrest and should not be allowed to suffer for it.
He called on the government to settle the issue of
sidelining the Igbos from power especially in 2023 for peace to reign.
‘’Governor Soludo has taken a very good step by visiting
him, this is what southern governors should have done for the sake of peace.
Other governors are selling their ethnicity for nothing, the northerners will
never do that.
‘’Kanu is not against any government, the government just
doesn’t know how to handle his matter, his case doesn’t need jail, it’s a small
thing. Kanu cannot be a terrorist, all is needed is dialogue.
‘’Nnamdi Kanu is not the problem of unrest in South East, he
should not be allowed to suffer for it. Igbo is already in Crisis, they are no
longer in the political setting of Nigeria and this will still create more
problems, these are the causes of agitations and unrest, not Nnamdi Kanu. The
government should address the real issues because this unrest won’t stop until
it is addressed,” he said.
