Benjamin Kalu, deputy speaker of the house of representatives, says a political solution is underway to secure for the release of his Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Kalu’s comments came after a federal high court in Abuja sentenced the IPOB leader to life imprisonment on Thursday for terrorism.
In a statement, the deputy speaker expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would listen to the pleas of well-meaning Igbo leaders on the matter.
Kalu urged the people of the south-east, and all Nigerians, to remain calm, assuring them that all hope is not lost.
