Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former governor of Anambra State, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to abide by the decision of the Appeal Court that recently ordered the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader.
The senior statesman made the plea on Monday’s episode of The Morning Show on Arise Television. He also noted that the Academic Staff Union of Universities, or ASUU, had ended its eight-month strike simply out of deference to a court, and he questioned why the federal government couldn’t even respect its court.
Ezeife is convinced that only God has the power to persuade President Buhari to free the detained IPOB leader.
Anything Buhari Wants Me To Do To Release Nnamdi Kanu, I Will Do – Ezeife
“The hearts of kings are in the hand of God. We pray to move Buhari to do justice, to respect the court – his own court. The ASUU people have gone back to school in obedience to court order even though they were not happy with it,” he said.
“Now let our government lead by example and comply with court order. What I heard was that Nnamdi Kanu was discharged and acquitted. But the government can put words in the Court’s mouth that he was only discharged.
“But even at that, if he was discharged of the heinous crimes accused of, that’s even enough reason to free him by the Court’s decision. When we went to the President, we got a very good response from him about releasing Nnamdi Kanu. [Later, I got personal] information that the President wants to release Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho.

“And [later] I heard only of Igboho being set free from charges against him while Nnamdi Kanu is still there. May God make it that the President will look at the state of the nation and release Nnamdi Kanu. God has created a situation in Nigeria where all eyes are not opened where nobody can say my religion, my tribe, etc.”
