Kanu said that “for the first time” the governors had behaved in a manner that won his admiration.
He said: “Maybe they are beginning to repent but I don’t want to be quick in saying they have repented until I’m sure they have. If they have repented, that will be nice for us all”.
Kanu, however, called for unity among Ndigbo and other indigenous tribes that make up the Biafra republic.
