During a meeting with a group of Igbo elders, President Buhari has stated that the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu will be considered but difficult.
He disclosed this to the group of Igbo elders, led by Minister of Aviation in the First Republic, Chief Mbazulike Ameachi, on Friday, November 19, 2021.
According to the president, one of the issues that came up was their request for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, which he reacted, saying,
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.
When Kanu jumped bail, got arrested and was brought back to Nigeria, 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 will consider your demand, but it is a heavy one.
