Plans to use Kanu’s case for political gains ‘ll fail – Sen. Abaribe

The Senate Minority leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has warned that nobody should use the current situation of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafa [IPOB], Nnamdi Kanu to play politics for selfish interest.

Abaribe who disclosed this in an interview on TVC argued that some people are using the case of Kanu to deceive ndi Igbo for selfish interests.

“Because it’s obvious now that some people are now out to play national Politics with the current situation of Kanu.

“That plan will surely fail because it is better they go live on national television or to their various states and let the world know their true stand on Nnamdi Kanu whom they claim to be their son in the background but not in the open.

“When I said the Nigerian government should leave Igbo Youths alone and stop killing them unnecessarily, some people called me all manner of names, especially Politicians who were benefiting from what Kanu is passing through. Is there anything or allegations they didn’t level on me, yet I stick to my resolve, determined and focused.

“Now, coming through the back door mandating these youths to embrace your national political solutions when you are not ready to listen to their voices makes no sense to me.

“You have to hear them out, analyze and know how to come up with a better recommendation or solution that will calm their nerves, not when the whole place is hot, you are telling them to embrace a political solution. Do you think they will listen to you? Definitely nobody in his right senses will do that.”
