Talks Underway for Kanu Release, Says Deputy Speaker; Urges Southeast Youths to End Violent Tactics
-
Talks are ongoing to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), according to Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
-
Kalu advises Southeast youths to stop IPOB's sit-at-home directives, as it is scaring away investors.
-
He calls for an end to violence, saying the government cannot be coerced that way, and peaceful negotiation is key to securing Kanu's release.
-
President Buhari is not against the Southeast, having appointed an Igbo infrastructure minister, so the sit-at-homes should end.
-
Kalu believes uniting together can help the Southeast achieve its goals, including Kanu's release, rather than using violence.
