Peter Mbah Breaks Silence: Reveals The Only Solution To Free Nnamdi Kanu

Speaking during a statewide broadcast on Tuesday, shortly after his public defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mbah revealed that he had discussed Kanu’s case with President Bola Tinubu just a week after assuming office.

The governor noted that his stance on Kanu’s detention has remained unchanged since taking office.

“Barely a week after I became governor, I met with the President, and when I addressed the press afterward, I made it clear that I raised the issue of Nnamdi Kanu with him,” Mbah said.

He emphasized that he has always maintained that a political resolution is the most viable and sustainable path to ending the matter.

Mbah further appealed to South-East leaders and stakeholders to adopt a united front in pursuing a political solution, stressing the need for consensus before engaging the federal government.

“First, we must all agree that a political approach is the right thing to do,” he said. “The implementation details can then be worked out later because they will certainly emerge. What matters now is for us to embrace the idea that this is the best way forward.”
