2027: South East ‘ll work for Tinubu’s re-election – Umahi

“We are willing to negotiate his release, but no one should make it a condition because the President did not put him there,” he said.

The minister described Tinubu as a listening leader and expressed faith that Kanu’s release would come through divine grace and dialogue, not through pressure or politics.

He said: “President Tinubu may not be perfect, but he is doing most things right.

“Look at where he picked up the economy from. The international community has confidence in his reforms. That is why we are getting support for our projects.”
