Former Nigeria President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has denied discussing the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, with the South East governors in Enugu, Enugu State, on Tuesday.
Obasanjo claims that he and a former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, met with the governors to discuss regional development issues.
The former President made this known on Wednesday in a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Akinyemi.
The statement read, “The regional development issues discussed 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”.
