The legal team of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), has urged President Bola Tinubu to hold a private meeting with the IPOB leader to find solution to the frequent agitations in the South-east.
In a statement signed by its Head, Nnaemeka Ejiofor, the legal team asked Mr Tinubu to show statesmanship in the handling of Mr Kanu’s continued detention.
The lawyers argued that Messrs Tinubu and Kanu share similar characteristics as democrats and freedom fighters, citing roles played by the president during the annulment of 12 June 1993 presidential election by the Nigerian military regime.
Recall that IPOB is a group agitating for the independent state of Biafra which it wants carved out from the South-east and some parts of South-south Nigeria.
The group emerged after Ralph Uwazulike’s Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, a similar pro-Biafra group, became inactive.
Mr Kanu’s lawyers said Mr Tinubu should investigate the root cause of the agitations and find a solution.
