Nnamdi Kanu ready for negotiation with FG to secure his release
Detained leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, in Abuja on Friday said he was willing to enter
into negotiation with the Federal Government to secure his release and
end the political crisis that has continued to trail his continued
incarceration.
He also denied claims that he was
working with some militant groups in the Niger Delta region, including
the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta and Niger Delta
Avengers.
Speaking through his lawyers, Ifeanyi
Ejiofor and Amobi Nzelu, at a press briefing
Ejiofor said, “Kanu will not renounce
his ideology, IPOB is bigger than him. He cannot say yes or no to
renouncing it, but he is open to political resolution of the problem.
Nobody has approached him for negotiation where he is kept.
“The issue of IPOB is beyond him, he is
open to negotiation. We are not against discussion on this issue. A
political solution will be easily achieved than legal solution but Kanu
must be released unconditionally.”
While reacting to media reports that the
IPOB leader and MEND were negotiating with the Federal Government,
Ejiofor said Kanu has no connection, contact, ties or any form of
relationship with the members of MEND.
He said, “In the past few days, the
media has been awash with news on negotiations going on between the
Federal Government and the members of MEND, where our client’s name
conspicuously featured. It is on that note that we wish to inform the
general public that Nnamdi Kanu has no connection, contact, ties or any
form of relationship with members of MEND.
“MEND has no implied, direct or express
authority of Nnamdi Kanu to represent him or Indigenous People of Biafra
in any purported negotiation going on between MEND and the Federal
Government. The general public is accordingly advised to ignore,
discountenance and disregard the falsehood being peddled by MEND. Nnamdi
Kanu does not know them.”
“Nnamdi Kanu welcomes genuine political
solution to this case. The Federal Government does not need to sponsor
their representatives to travel to far away Bayelsa State or the creeks
of Niger Delta region in order to reach Nnamdi Kanu.
“They know where they kept him, which is
easily accessible to them. Kanu has people of proven integrity and
impeccable character who will negotiate on his behalf based on his
demands when communication to this effect is established.
“The unfolding events in the polity has
therefore, vindicated our long held view that Nnamdi Kanu is a political
prisoner. We wish to reiterate that on Nnamdi Kanu’s total freedom is
where we stand.”
