NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu has reportedly agreed to release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) following the nationwide outcry.

Taking to his page to thank President Tinubu, Fayose wrote, “Good news!!! Nnamdi Kanu coming out anytime from now. Thank you President Tinubu for listening to your children”.
Recall that Ayodele Fayose had earlier called on President Bola Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu and give him contracts like ex-President Goodluck Jonathan did with Niger Delta militant leader, Tompolo.
Fayose said Kanu’s release would help Tinubu get more votes from the Southeast in 2027.
In a video on his Instagram handle, Fayose said releasing Kanu would reduce the level of insecurity in the Southeast.

According to him: “Releasing Nnamdi Kanu will reduce crime in the South-East by 50%. And APC will get more votes in 2027.
“If President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan can give a contract to Tompolo to have peace in the Niger Delta, why can’t we do the same in the South-East?”
“If we are spending so much money on security in the Southeast, the money will be reduced by 50% releasing Kanu,” Fayose advised.
He added that, “If I were president Tinubu, after the election, when I noticed that the Southeast people didn’t vote for me, I would have released Kanu to counter them; releasing Kanu can make some of them say, ‘oh this man has a good intention’”.
He made the call amid an appeal by the 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi and other Nigerians that Tinubu should release Kanu.
