Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2023, challenged the federal government on Friday to look into a political solution to Nnamdi Kanu’s ongoing arrest as the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

During Thursday’s sit-at-home exercise, Atiku made the demand while denouncing the deaths of some troops in the Aba region of Abia State.

Atiku lamented in a post on X the effects of the sit-at-home directive on the Southeast’s administration of the West African Examinations Council, or WAEC, exam.

As stated by Atiku: “The violence that led to the killing of soldiers and civilians in Abia State on Thursday stands condemned.

“My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who may have lost a loved one. May their souls rest in peace. But even more profound is the impact of yesterday’s sit-at-home in the Southeast region of our country on students writing WAEC examinations.

“The veil of the so-called Unknown Gun Men hiding undercover to unleash death and mayhem must be lifted to ensure that criminal elements are separated from legitimate agitators.

“To this end, without prejudice to the ongoing legal processes, I think the time has come to explore a political resolution to the Nnamdi Kanu and other associated issues. I believe that this will diffuse the compressor cooker situation in the region. It will be a win-win for all parties.”
