The Detained
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, in Abuja on Friday said
he
was willing to enter into negotiation with the Federal Government to secure
his release and end the political crisis which has continued to trail his
continued incarceration.
He
also denied claims that he was working with some militant groups in the Niger
Delta region, including the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta and
Niger Delta Avengers.
Speaking
through his lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Amobi Nzelu, at a press briefing, Kanu
said he was not opposed to negotiation to secure his freedom from detention
which he described as “politically motivated and orchestrated.”They
however said the IPOB leader would not renounce his ideology for him to be
released, because “IPOB is bigger than him.”
&
nbsp;
Ejiofor
said, “Kanu will not renounce his ideology, IPOB is bigger than him. He cannot
say yes or no to renouncing it.
But
he is opened to political resolutions of the problem. Nobody has approached him
for negotiation where he is kept.
“The issue of IPOB is beyond him, he is opened to Negotiation,
we are not against discussion on this issue. A political solution will be
easily achieved than legal solution but Kanu must be released unconditionally.”
