The Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyema, has expressed hope that President Muhammadu Buhari would release Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to Onyema who spoke at an event in Lagos over the weekend, Buhari would release Kanu if approached properly.

Onyema stressed that the president is not against the Southeast.

He urged the people of the Southeast to use wisdom in the fight against injustice.

According to Onyema: “This president, President Muhammadu Buhari, quote me, I say it again, he is not against Ndigbo. If you approach him the right way, he will listen.

“President Muhammadu Buhari will one day release our brother [Nnamdi Kanu].

“Myself, I don’t know Buhari but I have put forward certain requests, and he honoured them. He honoured my requests.”
