explore a political solution to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Atiku made the call while condemning the killing of some
soldiers in the Aba area of Abia State during Thursday’s sit-at-home exercise.
Posting on X, Atiku lamented the impact of the sit-at-home
order on the conduct of the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, exam
across the Southeast.
According to Atiku: “The violence that led to the killing of
soldiers and civilians in Abia State on Thursday stands condemned.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends
of those who may have lost a loved one. May their souls rest in peace. But even
more profound is the impact of yesterday’s sit-at-home in the Southeast region
of our country on students writing WAEC examinations.
“The veil of the so-called Unknown Gun Men hiding undercover
to unleash death and mayhem must be lifted to ensure that criminal elements are
separated from legitimate agitators.
“To this end, without prejudice to the ongoing legal
processes, I think the time has come to explore a political resolution to the
Nnamdi Kanu and other associated issues. I believe that this will diffuse the
compressor cooker situation in the region. It will be a win-win for all
parties.”
