Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has said governors of the South East are in discussions with the Federal Government over the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking during his monthly media interaction with journalists on Thursday, Otti disclosed that the region’s governors were making efforts behind the scenes to secure Kanu’s freedom.
Answering questions on the IPOB leader’s fate, he said: “The information and assurances are not for public consumption. As his governor, I am in the forefront of ensuring that he comes back. The South East governors are also involved. So, we are discussing.”
The governor, however, noted that beyond the Kanu matter, his administration remains committed to strengthening security across the state, especially as the year draws to a close.
