Former Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, on Thursday, faulted the Federal Government over the life sentence slammed on Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, saying the outcome was long anticipated given earlier signals from the authorities.
This is just as he said that the development confirmed that justice in Nigeria is not for the South-East.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his media adviser, Uchenna Awom, the Abia South senator said the “preconceived plot” to jail Kanu for life did not come to the Igbo nation or “other right-thinking Nigerians” as a shock.
Abaribe recalled that the refusal of the Federal Government to consider pleas for amnesty for Kanu — similar to gestures extended to militants in the South-South and to terror suspects in the North — made Thursday’s judgment predictable.
