Senator Ike Ekweremadu, former deputy president of the senate has stated that a political solution is still being pursued concerning the case of the leader of the\u00a0Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader, who is facing charges bordering on terrorism and treason, is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services.<\/p>\n

Recall that some Igbo leaders had last year visited the President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja to seek Kanu\u2019s release. This is amidst calls for a political solution to Kanu\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

During the visit, Buhari told them that an unconditional release of the IPOB leader runs contrary to the doctrine of separation of powers between the Executive and Judiciary<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is as he stated in a recent interview with Channels Television that Kanu should defend himself in court for peddling false information about his regime while he was overseas.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Ekweremadu, in an interview with Dream FM, Enugu, said he doesn\u2019t think Buhari ruled out a political solution to Kanu\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

The Senator said, \u201cPolitical solution in the Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s matter is still very feasible. I also watched the Channels Television interview and I don\u2019t think Mr. President ruled out a political solution. In fact, I would have been surprised if he said he would just release Nnamdi Kanu because there is independence of every arm of government, including the judiciary. There are procedures.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI recall that it was exactly Mr President\u2019s response when I led a delegation of the South-East Caucus of the Senate to see him on the Nnamdi Kanu issue in November 2016. But ultimately we kept reaching out and dialoguing until we had a political solution, which resulted in the judiciary granting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a bail because ultimately, everything will come to the judiciary because every arm of government is independent.<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cSo, we will keep working on a political solution, nevertheless. We will keep engaging the government, just as we will continue to appeal to our youth and people to ensure the stability and prosperity of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said a feedback is being expected from government concerning the political solution being pursued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn line with the political solution, which the South East Caucus of the National Assembly is quitely pursuing, I led a delegation of some Igbo leaders like the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe; Secretary-General, Amb. Okey Emuchay; and Bishop of the Methodist Church of Nigeria and Co-Chair Interfaith Dialogue Forum for Peace, Bishop Sunday Onuoha.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs usual, I deliberately didn\u2019t want to make it public because it is a quiet service we are rendering to Ndigbo and the nation. But the DSS eventually made it public in one of their statements. So, to answer your question, yes, I did lead a delegation to interface with the Kanu and the authorities. We had useful conversations. We have equally made some requests and we are waiting for a feedback from the government to make progress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
