Tensions and emotional reactions are still being fuelled by the South-East conflict, which is centred on Nnamdi Kanu’s imprisonment.

Former Anambra State PDP chairman Dan Ulasi talked about his own visit to Kanu and how the separatist leader gets very emotional and frequently breaks down in tears when he sees him.

This response demonstrates the emotional burden Kanu bears as a symbol of the unmet aspirations of several people in the post-war Biafra period.

Many in the South-East view his ongoing arrest as a sign of their alleged isolation from the Nigerian government, which exacerbates their dissatisfaction and instability.

He said that in order to determine if releasing Kanu would stop him from using violence, the government needed dare to do so. He says that because of his influence, if Kanu’s release is handled well, he could play a significant role in calming things down.

He said in an interview with AIT, “I stopped going because he’s very emotional. Once he sees me, he starts shedding tears. He’s a boy who represents the energy of post-war Nigerian Biafra. A boy who was born in 1969. People virtually worship him because there’s so much disenchantment. Most people in the Southeast believe they are not part of this country. Unfortunately, they believe they are not part of this country.”

“So, the holding of Nnamdi Kanu typifies to them the same theory. Why are they holding him? What did he say? So, you don’t know who and who are energising these killing processes in his name because they are holding him.”

“So, I have said on this platform, why won’t the government take a chance? Release him and see what happens. And let us see whether people using his name to commit crime will continue to do so. And I don’t believe they will continue to do so because he’s a very influential person. Very, very influential person. If you hear his name in any gathering, it stirs up some concern. He’s a forward-looking, positive, very brilliant chap.”
