A group under the umbrella of The South-East Watch has commended President Buhari for his promise to consider the request made by the Igbo leaders on the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
The group in a statement, yesterday, by its National Coordinator, Rev. Iyke Amaechi, and the Director, Legal, Barrister Ben Udechukwu, commended Chief Amechi, Senator Chris Ngige, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife and other members of the delegation, for the initiative.
“We commend President Buhari for the promise and we believe that he would act on it as quickly as possible. We also thank the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, the former Governor of Anambra State, Okwadike Chukwuemeka Ezeife and all the prominent Igbo sons that were part of the meeting.
“We also use this opportunity to call on the security agencies operating in South-East to act according to the rules of engagement so as not to do anything that could lead to confrontation between them and the youths especially during the forthcoming Yuletide.”
