On Nnamdi Kanu,

I want to be clear.

Many think I should either support Kanu or Peter Obi.

They say I talk about Biafra today and speak about Peter Obi the next day.

For them this is a contradiction.

I understand their mindset. But they are not looking at the matter from a dispassionate perspective.

The agitations for Biafra, Oduduwa, etc are the offspring of bad leadership.

If there were good governance in Nigeria,

If laws were followed,

If we had enthroned merit,

If we had eschewed ethnicity, favouritism and ima mmandu,

The agitations we see in different regions would not have come about.

The likes of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho emerged because we enthroned injustice, lawlessness, and incompetence.

Nobody should blame the zeal of Kanu and Igboho.

They are part of millions who are dissatisfied with the system.

Their demands are noble.

Let me reiterate. I am a staunch supporter of Nnamdi Kanu.

I believe in the justice of his cause.

I'm for justice, fairness and equity. I have always defended Nnamdi Kanu because I believe he is a prisoner of conscience.

And I will continue to support Nnamdi Kanu.

What is Kanu's crime?

He called for referendum and secession.

Are these treasonable felonies? No.

Self-determination is a fundamental human right.

If Kanu is guilty, why are Buhari and his parasites protracting his trial?

Why are they buying time?

As far as I am concerned, Kanu has not committed any crime against the state.

If Buhari could negotiate, pardon, rehabilitate and reintegrate terrorists into the society, why is difficult for him to listen to those demanding good governance?

Kanu's demands remain noble.

As for 2023 election, I don't think Obi has a rival when we talk about competence, capacity, character and commitment.

I am a supporter of Peter Obi because I know he is the best in the race.

My principles have not changed. I stand for justice, fairness and equity.

Look at our schools? Yet we still support the same people that looked the other way while schools decayed. When will we get to that point where we will collectively say “enough is enough”?
