I didn’t discuss Nnamdi Kanu’s release with South-East governors: Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he never discussed the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, with the South-East governors in Enugu on Tuesday.
The clarification was contained in a statement by the Special Assistant on Media to the former president, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
He said that the former President and Chief Emeka Anyaoku met with the governors on their own invitation to discuss regional development issues.
Mr Akinyemi said that the purported release of Mr Kanu by the Federal Government was not part of it.
He said that the regional development issues included security and infrastructure, economic and cooperative collaboration among others.
“The meeting with them was at my invitation and of Anyaoku before their summit began. The issue of Nnamdi Kanu was not on the agenda and was not discussed in my presence,” the statement quoted Mr Obasanjo as saying.
