FG Open to Dialogue on Nnamdi Kanu’s Release — Minister Umahi
Lagos | TEC News
Minister of Works, David Umahi, has stated that the Federal Government is open to negotiating the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), but cautioned against using the matter as a political bargaining tool.
Speaking to journalists in Lagos on Friday, Umahi emphasized that the Southeast region’s support for President Bola Tinubu should not be tied to Kanu’s release.
“Somebody asked me about Nnamdi Kanu, and I said his matter is not a condition for the South East to support the President. We are willing to negotiate his release, but no one should make it a condition because the President did not put him there,” Umahi stated.
He further noted that Kanu’s release would likely come through a combination of dialogue and divine intervention, stressing that such matters must follow due process.
Defending the administration’s economic reforms, Umahi said President Tinubu may not be perfect but is taking necessary steps to stabilize the nation.
“Look at where he picked up the economy from. The international community has confidence in his reforms. That is why we are getting support for our projects,” he added.
