Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor, on Monday alleged that President Bola Tinubu is behind the non-release of the Biafra agitator and not the judiciary.
Quoting Section 174 of the constitution, Ejimakor said Tinubu can direct the Attorney General of the Federation to stop Kanu’s trial because the buck stops at his table.
Posting on X, Ejimakor wrote: “It’s the President, not the Court, that is holding #MNK. Sec. 174 of the Constitution says that ‘the Attorney General can stop any criminal trial initiated by him’ against anybody.
“Tinubu can direct the AGF to stop the trial of MNK. @officialABAT, the buck stops at your table.”
Ejimakor also faulted the claims of one Nigeria, alleging that Igbos are being punished for voting the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.
“Where’s the #OneNigeria when Ndigbo are being punished for voting @PeterObi.
“They forget that Ndigbo also voted for Shagari, OBJ, Yar’Adua, GEJ & Atiku & Yoruba voted for Obasanjo, Ijaw voted for GEJ & Hausa-Fulani voted for Shagari, Yar’Adua & Atiku. #FreeMNK to prove me wrong,” he added.
