Kanu’s case is expected to top discussion at the upcoming meeting between South East governors and other Igbo stakeholders and the presidency.

Leaders of the region had at a meeting in Abuja on July 10, resolved that a high-powered Igbo delegation would meet the presidency to discuss the immediate and remote causes as well as the viable solutions to the insecurity in the South East.

Chief Diwe stressed that Kanu’s release was long overdue and  should be based purely on  political exigency.    

He noted that  the federal government had appealed the judgement freeing  Kanu and urged the government to display magnanimity  by releasing him on the ground of mercy in order to restore peace and tranquility in the South east.
