The Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, says the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and the creation of Anioma State will bring back peace to the southeast region.

In an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’, Nwoko stated that peace continues to elude the southeast because of the perceived injustice and marginalisation faced by the zone under successive Nigerian governments.

“The problem in the Southeast has to do with the perceived injustice by successive governments.

“So, what needs to be done, and it’s one of the reasons I am here today, is the creation of a new state to make up the number to six, and then the release of Nnamdi Kanu.

“By the time you do these two things, I am almost certain that peace will return to the Southeast,” he said.

“Nnamdi Kanu is being held unjustly. His incarceration is the main reason for the continued unrest in the Southeast,” Nwoko added.
