A Senator Representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ubah, has said that South-East leaders will appeal with the Federal Government to release the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from detention.
Ubah disclosed this during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme, on Thursday, October 12.
The senator, who defected from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier on Thursday, expressed his conviction that the government will certainly take notice of their cause.
“I am of the firm belief that if we can consult – with the consultation we have had, the government will start looking in that direction,” he said Thursday.
“Even though it is something that the government cannot say – based on the issues in court, the government cannot say that they can take a unilateral position. But I believe by the time we join the forces coming into the centre spread, we will make an appeal.”
Speaking on insecurity in the southeast, Ubah said “We spoke on many issues, not only insecurity. We discussed insecurity; it was one of the focused infrastructures, but most importantly, even looking at the stability of the southeast and my state – our detained brother, Nnamdi Kanu.
“A lot of things are on the table; let us see how, where we will get to,” he added.
“Everybody that wants peace in the South-East should help join or help pray for me and see that my move will bring value to the South-East and bring tranquility and peace so that people will start going back to the southeast,” he added.
“People are no more going: Mondays are being observed as sit-at-home, so many things are involved.”
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has fixed December 15, 2023 to deliver its judgement on the IPOB leader.
