Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, has disclosed his conversation with President Muhammadu Buhari regarding the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking to State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, the presidential hopeful said that a political solution could resolve the matter.
According to him: “The President repeatedly said the matter is in court, we must appreciate his pedigree and integrity.
“He cannot just as a President say he is going to destroy the matter in court.
“He said, ‘Your cultural leadership should be able to initiate that with Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer’.
“This is over six months and we have been begging the President of Ohaneze to take up that responsibility.”
