Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, on Friday charged the Federal Government to explore a political solution to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.<\/p>\n
Atiku made the call while condemning the killing of some soldiers in the Aba area of Abia State during Thursday\u2019s sit-at-home exercise.<\/p>\n
Posting on X, Atiku lamented the impact of the sit-at-home order on the conduct of the West African Examinations Council, WAEC, exam across the Southeast.<\/p>\n
According to Atiku: \u201cThe violence that led to the killing of soldiers and civilians in Abia State on Thursday stands condemned.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those who may have lost a loved one. May their souls rest in peace. But even more profound is the impact of yesterday\u2019s sit-at-home in the Southeast region of our country on students writing WAEC examinations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe veil of the so-called Unknown Gun Men hiding undercover to unleash death and mayhem must be lifted to ensure that criminal elements are separated from legitimate agitators.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo this end, without prejudice to the ongoing legal processes, I think the time has come to explore a political resolution to the Nnamdi Kanu and other associated issues. I believe that this will diffuse the compressor cooker situation in the region. It will be a win-win for all parties.\u201d<\/p>\n
