The Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu, on Tuesday noted that he can bring back the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu to Nigeria and convince him to drop the agitation for Biafra.
The former Abia State Governor stated that all he needs is the permission of President Muhammadu Buhari to carry on the task.
The lawmaker in a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, said the leader of IPOB will listen to him.

He stated this in reaction to the recent altercation between members of IPOB and security personnel in Enugu state.
Kalu added that he is a believer in one Nigeria, and believes that people of the country are so entangled with each other that no one should be talking about separation.
He added that what the country needs is to focus on taking advantage of the country’s population to build a stronger economy.
“If the Federal Government permits me, I will go to the United Kingdom and negotiate with Nnamdi Kanu to return to Nigeria.”
