Abia South Senator and former Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration can release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, for the sake of national unity.

Abaribe was reacting to the Supreme Court judgment that refused to release Kanu.

He described the ruling against Kanu as unfortunate.

In a statement by his Media Adviser, Uchenna Awom, Abaribe said: “This current Federal Government will do something very fast to release Nnamdi Kanu, if for no other reason, but for national cohesion and unity of the country.

“As Leaders, we shall continue to press for a solution that will be the best in the circumstance.”

The former Senate Minority Leader also urged Igbos not to despair over what he called “the unfortunate outcome at the Supreme Court”.
