Kanu promised to preach peace when released, Soludo says

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has visited the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Soludo quoted the IPOB leader as saying that he would preach peace when released.

The governor made this known in a post on his Facebook page on Saturday.

He said, “I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, (Friday, 13th May, 2022) to felicitate with him and also as part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South East.

“He was in very high spirits and we had quality and frank discussion in a very convivial atmosphere. He expressed sadness over what he described as “sacrilegious killings” of innocent persons, kidnappings and all forms of criminalities, including the brutal enforcement of the senseless “sit at home” perpetuated by sundry groups claiming to be acting for or on behalf of IPOB.

“He assured that if the opportunity arises, he will be glad to personally broadcast to his followers to maintain the peace.

“Together, we shall restore peace, security and prosperity in Anambra and the Southeast.”
