The family of Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, has stated that it and President Bola Tinubu reached an arrangement for the Biafra agitator’s release.

Kanu’s brother, Kanunta, revealed that in the run-up to the 2023 presidential election, he made a deal with Tinubu’s son, Seyi.

Kanunta revealed that the president had approved the meeting, but lamented Tinubu’s refusal to follow the agreement by freeing the IPOB leader.

According to a statement he released, it was decided that the IPOB will not abstain from the 2023 elections on the basis that Tinubu would free Kanu if he were elected president.

The statement reads: ”Before the last election, I received a message from an ex-governor that Seyi, the son of President Tinubu, wanted to see me.

“I agreed to meet with him on the condition that the overriding priority and hence the fulcrum of our discussion will be the release of my brother.

“The meeting was held in Abuja in the presence of another individual whom I asked along to witness the deliberations and provide independent verification should the need arise.

“Seyi confirmed to me that his father sanctioned the meeting and that I should consider any agreement we reach as binding on the then candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In good faith we agreed that I shall relay the outcome to my brother to reinforce the long held tradition of IPOB not interfering with the conduct of elections, either through boycott or any other form of civil disobedience.

“This understanding was duly communicated to my brother and he reaffirmed his commitment not to stop the elections or order any boycott.

“When President Tinubu as a candidate visited Owerri during his campaign, he too reiterated his commitment to facilitate the release of my brother if elected.

“We took his public statement as a tacit reaffirmation of the understanding I reached with his son Seyi.

“It, therefore, defies logic that nearly two years after President Tinubu assumed the mantle of leadership in Nigeria, my brother is still in detention despite not having any charge against him.

“It’s been over three months now that Justice Binta Nyako recused herself from the case yet no new judge has been assigned the case.”
