Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu has said the Southeast would not rule out a political solution in the case of Nnamdi Kanu, pro-Biafra agitator.<\/p>\n

Ekweremadu said the Southeast would keep engaging the government in a push for a political solution.<\/p>\n

Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari had ruled out a political solution to Kanu\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Buhari, who made the comment during an interview with Channels Television, said he would not interfere with Kanu\u2019s trial.<\/p>\n

This was after some Igbo elders led by former Aviation Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi urged the President to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n

However, Ekweremadu said despite Buhari\u2019s comment, the Southeast would keep seeking a political solution.<\/p>\n

Featuring on Dream FM, Ekweremadu said, \u201cPolitical solution in the Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s matter is still very feasible. I also watched the Channels Television interview and I don\u2019t think Mr. President ruled out a political solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I would have been surprised if he said he would just release Nnamdi Kanu because there is independence of every arm of government, including the judiciary. There are procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we will keep working on a political solution, nevertheless. We will keep engaging the government, just as we will continue to appeal to our youth and people to ensure the stability and prosperity of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n
