Edochie wrote: “@theasovilla Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and call for dialogue. In a multi-tribal country like Nigeria there will always be agitation from different quarters.

“To keep the country united and peaceful you should listen to your people, find out why they are agitating and resolve it peacefully. Not by use of force.”
