Nigerian business mogul and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Eze, has assured that Igbo leaders will beg President Bola Tinubu to forgive, and release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Eze, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, spoke to journalists in Enugu, and absolved Tinubu from Kanu’s ordeal.
He said: “Nnamdi Kanu was detained by Buhari, not Tinubu. Buhari is a hardliner. But we shall beg Tinubu to forgive him. He has the spirit of forgiveness. He has no enemy.”
Turning to youths spoiling for war over developments in the country, Prince Eze stated, “They don’t know anything about the war. I was a refugee for three years with my father. I lost seven of my brothers on the battlefield. Those talking about war don’t know anything. My brother, who is the Igwe now, had a bullet in his heart. He was the brigade commander in Arochukwu.
“All these people running about don’t know what it means to fight a war. I was here when Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra. They don’t know what war is. It (Kanu’s detention) is not Tinubu’s fault, but Buhari’s fault. But we shall beg Tinubu to forgive. So I appeal to them to exercise patience and continue to cooperate with the government.”
