\n
An unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), currently standing trial, runs contrary to the doctrine of separation of powers between the Executive and Judiciary, President Muhammadu Buhari has said.<\/div>\n
\n
\nReceiving a group under the aegis of Highly Respected Igbo Greats, led by First Republic parliamentarian and Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, at the State House, Abuja, the President in a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, told the 93-year-old statesman: \u201cYou\u2019ve made an extremely difficult demand on me as leader of this country. The implication of your request is very serious. In the last six years, since I became President, nobody would say I have confronted or interfered in the work of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n

” God has spared you, and given you a clear head at this age, with very sharp memory. A lot of people half your age are confused already. But the demand you made is heavy. I will consider it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stressing his policy of non-interference with the Judiciary, President Buhari said when Kanu jumped bail, got arrested and brought back to the country, \u201cI said the best thing was to subject him to the system. Let him make his case in court, instead of giving very negative impressions of the country from outside. I feel it\u2019s even a favour to give him that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President condoled with Chief Amaechi, who recently buried his wife, praying that her soul would rest in peace.<\/p>\n

The nonagenarian had described the situation in the South-East as \u201cpainful and pathetic,\u201d lamenting that businesses have collapsed, education is crumbling, and there is fear everywhere.<\/p>\n
