Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has clarified that the release of Nnamdi Kanu was not a topic of discussion during his meeting with South East governors in Enugu on Tuesday, July 2.

The meeting, attended by the governors and Chief Emeka Anyaoku, was convened to address matters related to regional development.

According to a statement released on Wednesday, July 3, by Obasanjo’s special assistant on media, Kehinde Akinyemi, the discussions primarily focused on regional development issues, including security and infrastructure.

The statement read;

“Others were economic and cooperative/collaboration, which was meant to complement the national economic development agenda.

“The meeting with them was at my invitation and of Chief Emeka Anyaoku before their summit begins. The issue of Nnamdi Kanu was not on the agenda and was not discussed in my presence.”
