Kanu’s Release Will End Southeast Insecurity – Ejimakor

Aloy Ejimakor, the lead counsel representing Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), asserted on Saturday that releasing Kanu would resolve the ongoing insecurity in the Southeast region of Nigeria.
Ejimakor claimed that individuals obstructing Kanu’s release are benefiting from the current unrest in the region.
In a post on X, Ejimakor emphasized Kanu’s deep significance to many supporters, stating, “While understanding human motivations can be challenging, it is clear that MAZI NNAMDI KANU holds a profound place in the hearts and minds of countless individuals.”
Ejimakor confidently predicted that the end of Kanu’s detention would lead to a significant reduction in the region’s insecurity.
He accused those hindering Kanu’s release of exploiting the chaos for their own gain, asserting, “You can be certain that the insecurity in the Southeast will diminish once #MNK is freed. Those blocking his release are profiting from the current turmoil in the region.”
Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since June 2021 following his arrest and extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.
Since his incarceration, the Southeast has experienced a dramatic increase in violence, including frequent kidnappings and killings, which Ejimakor attributes to the power vacuum created by Kanu’s absence.

Governor Adeleke Says He’s Staying in PDP and Will Keep Serving Osun State

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has dismissed rumours that he plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), making it clear that he’s staying put.
Speaking during the flag-off of the 3.5km Ila township road dualisation project in Ila-Orangun, Adeleke reaffirmed his commitment to both the party and the people of the state. He stressed that his mission remains focused on service and development, not political distractions.
Despite the uncertainty in the country, Adeleke expressed joy over the kickoff of the road project, describing it as a step forward in his administration’s promise to transform infrastructure across Osun.
He proudly highlighted the achievements so far, saying his government has already completed over 175 kilometres of roadwork. He also noted that several other major projects, including flyovers and dualised roads, are actively progressing.
One of the key projects, according to him, is the 39km Osogbo–Ikirun–Inisha–Okuku–Ijabe–Ila Odo road that links the state to Kwara. Adeleke stressed that its completion is a top priority for his administration.
“I was elected under the PDP and I will remain in the PDP,” Adeleke said. “We’ve started a second phase that’s almost as long as what took 12 years to finish. By God’s grace, we’ll complete it within a year.” He ended by calling the gathering a divine moment, saying everyone present is part of a bigger plan guided by God.

“Buhari Would Have Supported EndSARS Protest If It Was Peaceful” – Garba Shehu

Garba Shehu, former spokesperson for late President Muhammadu Buhari, has said the former leader would have supported the EndSARS protests if they had remained peaceful. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV’s Morning Show, Shehu noted that Buhari initially saw the movement as a genuine expression of public concern and would have welcomed it.
However, Shehu explained that things took a different turn when the protests were overtaken by violence, vandalism, and attacks on law enforcement. He pointed out that the government responded early with offers of dialogue and even took steps like disbanding SARS to address the concerns raised.
But according to him, once the protest turned into a security crisis, marked by arson, destruction of public property, and loss of lives, no responsible government could sit back and watch. He emphasized that Buhari was deeply disturbed by how things unfolded, especially with the chaos in Lagos and other cities, and hoped such an incident never happens again in Nigeria.
