Gumi said forgiveness can help calm things down across Nigeria. He urged leaders to try talks before violence grows further.

“I will seek peace.” He said that his offer depends on Kanu’s public apology and peace call.

Human rights groups warn against quick pardons without full review. They urge clear answers and full legal steps before any release.

Some community leaders back reintegration for repentant militants who lay down arms. They say reintegration helps heal wounds and rebuild trust locally.

Gov Alex Otti activates plan to secure Nnamdi Kanu's release

Governor Alex Otti says he activated a strategy to secure Nnamdi Kanu's release through talks and diplomacy.

Gov Alex Otti activates plan to secure Nnamdi Kanu’s release

Key Points

  • Otti says he activated a plan to free Kanu. He says talks with federal officials are ongoing now.
  • He visited Kanu in DSS custody earlier this year. Otti urges calm and warns against political provocation.
  • He blamed earlier poor handling for current tensions. Otti pledges diplomacy and dialogue to restore peace.

Abia State governor Alex Otti responded to Nnamdi Kanu’s life sentence Friday. He said he has activated a strategy begun during Kanu’s trial.

He told the public he will pursue agreed steps until release. Related coverage shows mounting pressure from voices like Cubana Chief Priest warns Tinubu.

Otti said federal assurances give hope for a negotiated release in future. He suggested alternative agreements from the trial will now proceed after judgment. He urged patience and warned against inflammatory language that fuels unrest.

Otti criticised the initial handling of IPOB grievances and called it avoidable. He said early mistakes widened anger and made later fixes harder. The governor appealed to Abia residents to show restraint and calm voices.

He warned politicians not to exploit the case for petty gains. Otti offered to work with well meaning Nigerians and regional leaders. He emphasised dialogue and diplomacy as the preferred path to peace.

Otti repeated his pledge amid nationwide reactions to the sentence. Some voices call for protests and marches like Sowore announces Abuja march. He asked leaders to channel energy towards talks instead of street action.

How Otti plans to pursue release

Otti declined to share full details of the strategy with reporters. He said some steps were started while Kanu’s trial was ongoing. Those steps include talks, legal checks and private meetings with leaders.

He confirmed ongoing talks with federal agents and ministry people. He said federal assurances made the plan more realistic and hopeful. He asked federal teams to keep commitments that speed a legal exit.

Local leaders in the South East voiced mixed reactions to Otti’s statement. Some welcomed his quiet diplomacy while others demanded faster legal action now. Groups urged restraint and asked for simple steps to peace.

Analysts warn political fallout could affect votes in future elections. They say leaders must avoid stoking anger with harsh words or threats. Otti insisted his aim is peace and not partisan gain for anyone.

The sentence against Kanu comes after a lengthy court process this year. Kanu retains the right to appeal and pursue legal remedies in court. Otti said he will keep pushing the agreed plan until freedom is achieved.

For now Otti urged calm and promised continued quiet work behind scenes. He said peace and talks remain the best path to lasting stability.

Human rights groups urged full clarity on the trial and sentencing process. They called for access to court records and fair review steps now. Otti endorsed those calls and invited civic groups into dialogue sessions.

The federal government has given no public timetable for any release. A presidency statement said legal processes and court orders must determine outcomes. Otti said he will work within those limits while pressing quietly for progress.
