He challenged the President to be a man of his words by leaving the judiciary to decide on Kanu’s fate without any political interference or vendetta.
“The release of Kanu will restore peace and stability to South-East of Nigeria and restore economic growth of the zone,” he stated.
HURIWA also expressed disappointment and consternation at the non-challant attitudes of the Governors of the South East of Nigeria towards mounting pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari to free Kanu from detention.
