The Enugu-born politician however stated that he will be happy if Kanu is released, but he cautioned that there is no state that will joke with someone, who went on radio to cause disaffection by calling Nigeria a zoo.
His words: ”If he is being tried, has the Supreme Court said he should be released? To me, the Igbos are highly accepted in this country. Forget about the civil war because most countries also passed through the same road, even the United States.
”So, we must we must forget about the past and move ahead. If you look at it democratically, the Igbos have never at a time said they want to leave Nigeria.
”Between 1995 and 1996, the Igbos set up a secretariat for the Constitutional Conference organized by the General Sani Abacha regime.”
