Senate Chief Whip and former Governor of Abia state, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has appealed to Federal Government to allow the leader of the Indegenious People of Biafra ( IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to return to Nigeria.
Kalu said negotiations of Kanu’s return would also include his dropping of the secessionist agenda of creating a new country called Biafra.
Responding to questions on the recent altercation between members of IPOB with security personnels in Enugu recently, Kalu said he is an ardent believer of unified Nigeria. According to him , “Nigerians are so entangled with each other that we can’t talk about separation. We are a United country and our focus should be on taking advantage of our population to build a stronger economy.
“We have reached a point where all Nigerians should be canvassing for strong institution where rule and order are observed; where the hardware and software components of a democratic nation are comprehensively promoted. If federal government permits me, I will go to United Kingdom and negotiate with Nnamdi Kanu to return to Nigeria.
“I will convince him to drop the agitation for Biafra because our people don’t need it. We need a united Nigeria that will allow different cultures and tongues to live peacefully in any part of the country. A country where people can comfortably do their businesses without fear of the unknown”, he said.
