Senator Abaribe’s Offer to Stand as Surety for Nnamdi Kanu: A Political Solution?

In a bold move, Senator Eyinanya Abaribe renewed his offer to stand as surety for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), highlighting the political tensions surrounding the Biafran cause.

His offer came in the same week that Senator John Azuta-Mbata was elected as President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, and the Governor of Ondo State, Mr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, pardoned sixty prisoners in celebration of his 60th birthday.

The actions reflect a moment of significant political maneuvering in Nigeria, with Kanu’s case continuing to dominate the national discourse. Ohaneze Ndigbo, now led by Azuta-Mbata, faces an urgent task: securing Kanu’s release by any means necessary.
