South-East billionaire businessman, Arthur Eze, has said President Bola Tinubu would listen to the voice of Ndigbo and release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Eze said President Tinubu cares for the region. He stated that most of the concerns of the region on marginalization would be addressed in the current regime.
In an interview with AIT, posted on Sunday, Chief Eze noted that the President was already showing love for Ndigbo even though his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) lost the region in 2023 general election.
According to him, Kanu‘s detention, after much plea, was because of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s disposition.
“Kanu was detained by Muhammadu Buhari, not Tinubu. Buhari is a hardliner. But we shall appeal to Tinubu to forgive him. He has the spirit of forgiveness. He has no enemy,” he said.
He further commended the President for establishing the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
He explained that the Commission would address some of the challenges of the region.
“We need to thank the President for his concerns towards addressing the infrastructure gaps in the South-East region. We have to thank Tinubu for establishing the South East Development Commission (SEDC).
“Remember we have clamoured for this Commission since the end of the Nigeria/Biafra war without success. It is only Tinubu that has demonstrated his love for us by establishing this Commission. That Commission will solve our problem.
“The Managing Director of the Commission is Mike Okoye from Ukpo, Dunukofia Anambra State. There were appointments from Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi states, changing Igbo lives. Very soon, many youths will start getting jobs and it will go a long way to address the security challenges we have in the region,” he added.
LeadNaija reported that Ohanaeze Ndigbo, political, religious and traditional leaders of the region have demanded that President Tinubu release the IPOB leader, Kanu.
The leaders of the region believed that Kanu’s release would help to address insecurity challenges in the region. Tap Here To Read Full Details
