Nnamdi Kanu’s release will boost APC chances in Southeast – Deji Adeyanju

• Deji Adeyanju advised APC to release Nnamdi Kanu as it will boost their chances in Southeast
• Abubakar Malami vowed that Kanu would not be freed

Deji Adeyanju, an activist based in Abuja, claims that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release will increase the chances of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winning the presidency in 2023. Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

No doubt, there have reportedly been calls for Kanu’s release from the Federal Government as a result of a Court of Appeal ruling. The order was later given a stay by the court, though.

The abduction of Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria was deemed illegal and illegitimate by the Court of Appeal in Abuja, which also overturned the Federal Government’s whole terrorism case against him.

It concluded that Kanu’s extraordinary rendition to Nigeria was illegal under both domestic and international law.

But AGF Abubakar Malami had vowed that Kanu would not be freed, highlighting the fact that the Federal Government would press additional charges against him.

The IPOB leader had stated before his incarceration that no elections would take place in the Southeast until the government had approved a vote that would result in the foundation of Biafra.

Some Nigerians think that releasing Kanu would compromise the integrity of the Southeast elections in 2023 given his arrest in June 2021 and continued detention.

Adeyanju asserted that Kanu’s release will increase the APC’s prospects of winning the Southeast. He pointed out that politicians in the Southeast might utilize Kanu’s release as a political ploy.
