Abia State Governor Alex Otti has reaffirmed his commitment to securing the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, following his recent conviction and life sentence by the federal high court in Abuja. Justice James Omotosho, presiding over the case on November 20, ruled that Kanu was guilty of terrorism-related charges, a verdict that has drawn national attention and renewed calls for political intervention in the matter.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Governor Otti disclosed that the plan to secure Kanu’s freedom had been in motion since the early days of the trial. He explained that he has consistently followed through on a carefully designed political strategy, which includes high-level engagements with key authorities across the country. According to him, the objective has always been clear and remains actively pursued despite the court’s ruling.

Otti further revealed that he had previously visited Kanu in detention, updating him on the ongoing efforts and reaffirming his commitment to the agreed roadmap. He noted that while Kanu retains the right to appeal his conviction, the political strategy to secure his release remains fully activated and in progress.
