The member representing the Ikwuano/Umuahia constituency in the National Assembly, Obi Aguocha has said that former President, Mohammadu Buhari has promised not to oppose the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu through a political resolution.

According to Aguocha, he used the visit to apologise for any missteps and utterances of his constituent, Nnamdi Kanu and harped on the need to promote understanding and unity.
“Former President Buhari welcomed my approach and assured me that he would not oppose a political solution for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
“This meeting is part of a broader initiative to secure a speedy political resolution and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s subsequent release, in the spirit of dialogue and non-contentious approaches to resolving national issues”, Aguocha said.
He expressed confidence that with the assurance given by the former President and the letter of appeal he led 50 House of Representatives members to write to President Bola Tinubu about Kanu’s conditions, the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu would soon be released through political resolution
