The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, on Friday, called for a political solution to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.
The call came after the killing of soldiers in Aba, Abia State during Thursday’s sit-at-home declared by IPOB across the Southeast. Condemning the killing, the former Vice-President, stated that exploring a political solution for Kanu, who is facing treason charges will help calm tension in the region.
Meanwhile, the Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, is in a closed-door meeting with all the security chiefs, and other members of the Security Advisory Council in Abia State.
Although the details of the meeting are still sketchy, it may not be unconnected to the reported killings of five soldiers by gunmen, while ensuring peace and protecting citizens
