The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Dr. Victor Oye, has commended the Federal Government for granting freedom to some detained members of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Oye in a statement yesterday described the government’s gesture as bold, patriotic and the surest way to peace and unity of Nigeria, which he claimed was non-negotiable.
He, however, called on the government to release the detained leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to enable him go home and “take care of his young family”.
His words: “I commend the Federal Government for the bold and patriotic step taken in the release of some of the members and supporters of IPOB detained in Aba.
“I thank all the men and women of goodwill who facilitated the release and urge them not to relent until absolute peace and harmony is achieved in Nigeria.
“This magnanimity shown by the government is one of the shortest and surest ways to peace and unity of Nigeria, which is non-negotiable.
“The government should also extend this gesture to Kanu, who has been in detention for a while.”
Oye urged the Federal Government to open more avenues and channels of discussion with all agitating groups, who were protesting the political and economic structure of Nigeria for amicable resolution of issues.
He also urged Nigerians to remain law-abiding and show unfettered respect for constituted authority and loyalty to Nigeria.
