CITIZENS COMPASS –Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, disclosed why he met with the South East governors in Enugu, Enugu State, yesterday.
He said the meeting had nothing to do with the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu who had been in the custody of the Department of the State Service (DSS).
The former President and Chief Emeka Anyaoku met with the governors on their own invitation to discuss regional development issues, and the purported plan release of Kanu by the Federal government was not part of it.
A statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Wednesday, stated the regional development issues include that of security and infrastructure. Others were economic and cooperative/collaboration, which was meant to complement the national economic development agenda.
“The meeting with them was at my invitation and of Chief Emeka Anyaoku before their summit begins. The issue of Nnamdi Kanu was not on the agenda and was not discussed in my presence,” Obasanjo was quoted as having said.
