The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration should not be held responsible for the continued incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Bellnews reports that Otti disclosed this during a media parley in Umuahia, the state capital.
The Governor said his administration is working underground to secure Kanu’s release using a different approach, despite not revealing his efforts to the media.
Otti said the different approach would not be made public until it had yielded the desired results.
He said, “I believe in results rather than media hype. We do not want media noise. We are working very hard to ensure his (Kanu’s) release.
“My personal position is that the new government does not need to inherit the wrong things of the previous administration.”
