Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has said a political solution is underway to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kalu made the remarks following the Federal High Court in Abuja’s ruling that sentenced Kanu to life imprisonment for terrorism.
In a statement, the deputy speaker expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would heed the appeals of well-meaning Igbo leaders regarding Kanu’s case. He called on the people of the South-East and Nigerians at large to remain calm, assuring them that “all hope is not lost.”
“It is now time to explore political solutions that had been hindered because the matter was before the court,” Kalu said. “But now that the court has concluded, it is time to intensify requests for the president’s intervention, and we are confident that the president is not averse to it. We are going to get it. All hope is not lost. Our people should remain calm.”
