I didn’t discuss Nnamdi Kanu release – Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said the issue of releasing Nnamdi Kanu was not part of his discussion with the South East governors in Enugu on Tuesday.

Obasanjo and Chief Emeka Anyaoku met with the governors on their own invitation to discuss regional development issues, and the purported planned release of Kanu by the Federal government was not part of it.

A release by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi, on Wednesday, stated the regional development issues including that of security and infrastructure were discussed.

“Others were economic and cooperative/collaboration, which was meant to complement the national economic development agenda,” Obasanjo said.

“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.
