President Muhammadu Buhari has on Friday, May 6 commenced a closed door meeting with Ohanaeze Ndígbo and other South-East leaders.
The meeting is holding at the New Exco Chambers, Government House Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.
At the meeting, leaders in the South East appealed to President Buhari to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the South East, Reverend Father Abraham Nwali, made the plea on behalf of the South East leaders in his address at the Ebonyi State Stakeholders’ Forum
He said;
We plead for a political solution that as a father; a kind father, a forgiving father, to grant Nnamdi Kanu freedom. We say that he should be granted pardon. And we call on all agitators to cease all forms of hostilities and rather demand a nation where the plights of the poor, the weak, the oppressed will be addressed.
However in his remarks, President Buhari did not give a response whether he would consider the request of the Igbo leaders or not.
More details to come.
