Special Assistant on Press Affairs to the deputy Speaker, Udora Orizu, said Kalu also commended Tinubu for his continuous support and commitment towards peace, development and stability of the South-East region.

He noted that the President since assuming office has in various ways proven his love for the South-Easterners through his speedy assent to the South East Development Commission Bill which failed in previous assemblies.

Suggesting the adoption of political approach than legal for the release of Kanu, the deputy speaker said the people of the region will be eternally grateful to the President if that becomes a reality.

Expressing optimism that the President will heed to their appeal, the Kalu noted that when Kanu is released, insecurity in the region will be reduced and as well, spring up development that the SEDC is going to bring.

“Only President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was able to put his feet down to say that the South East remains parts and parcel of Nigeria. It failed in previous assemblies, but when it got to him, he assented to it. We are very happy because we know that certain areas of our problems in the region will be prioritised such as agriculture, energy, power, infrastructure and technology. We are very innovative people.

“All we need is the support of government to project the innovative mindedness of the young folks in that region to benefit the entire federation. The next one is the creative industry, how do we look at that, sports, entertainment, to take it from where it is to where it ought to be.

“In agriculture the whole nine yards, in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda on Food Security, that’s what we are looking at. What’s happening with these talents, can’t we have something like Silicon Valley in the East? We can call it eastern valley, a hub where you creative minds will come together.

“These are areas we are looking at, with a lot of technology in place, development will spring up. We are thankful to Mr President for doing this for the South-East, you know insecurity is a major concern in the area. You can’t have development in midst of insecurity,” he said.

He added that is informed the call for peace in South-East as a project supported by the parliament. “But in doing so, we noticed that the insecurity there will be reduced if Nnamdi Kanu is released. We want Nnamdi Kanu to be released because we know it will give our people more security.”

The deputy speaker stressed that those using Kanu’s detention as excuses to perpetrate criminal activities in the region will have no other reason to be on the street. “Then the police and security agencies will catch anyone who claims Nnamdi Kanu is the reason for causing harm to the people of South-East. So, we are begging, you can’t coarse the President, he’s the Commander in Chief.”

He further urged the president to use political approach, not the legal channel in resolving the issue. “We are appealing to him to temper justice with mercy and release Nnamdi Kanu to South-East people. It will ensure more security for our people and spring up development that this SEDC is going to bring.”
