Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has said President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration is not responsible for the incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).<\/p>\n

Otti made the remark while noting that his administration is working hard to ensure Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

He said his administration has deployed \u201ca different approach\u201d to secure Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

The governor disclosed this during a media parley in Umuahia, the state capital.<\/p>\n

Otti said the \u201cdifferent approach\u201d would not be made public until it had yielded the desired results.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that he has been working underground to secure the IPOB leader\u2019s release despite not revealing his efforts to the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in results rather than media hype. We do not want media noise. We are working very hard to ensure his (Kanu\u2019s) release,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The governor said the administration of President Bola Tinubu was not responsible for the incarceration of Kanu.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy personal position is that the new government does not need to inherit the wrong things of the previous administration,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
