Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, will grant unconditional release to detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, if he emerges president on May 29, one of his campaign directors has revealed.
• Campaign DG in Anambra reveals PDP candidate’s blueprint for peace in S’EastKanu has been in the detention facility of the Department of State Services since June 2021, when he was intercepted and renditioned to Nigeria from Kenya by the Federal Government and charged with terrorism.
But the Federal Government has ignored all these and instead challenged the judgment at the Supreme Court. To achieve this, he said Atiku would release all South East agitators in detention and ensure the tension in the region is doused. “What we are, therefore, saying is that for this to happen, peace must reign for elections in the South East, and there’s a need for South Easterners to fall behind PDP.”
