Kanu’s Matter Will Be Resolved Administratively — Gov. Alex Otti!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has stated that the ongoing legal and political discourse surrounding the continued detention of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, will be addressed through administrative processes rather than prolonged legal battles or public agitation.

What He Said

• Speaking during a media briefing, Governor Otti expressed confidence that “the matter will be resolved administratively in due course,” adding that discussions are ongoing at various levels of government.
• He emphasized that his administration remains committed to peace, justice, and the protection of citizens’ rights, including ensuring that any process involving Kanu aligns with due process and national interest.

Why It Matters

• Kanu’s prolonged detention has triggered protests, legal disputes, and political tension in the South-East region, with calls from leaders and civil society groups demanding his release.
• Otti’s statement signals a possible shift from strict legal handling to behind-the-scenes negotiations or executive interventions aimed at de-escalation.
• It also reinforces the governor’s diplomatic approach to a highly sensitive and polarizing issue within the region.

What to Watch

• Whether the federal government will respond to increasing pressure from South-East governors and political leaders for Kanu’s release.
• Possible legal or political developments from the presidency or security agencies indicating a softening stance.
• Public reaction from IPOB and other groups monitoring Otti’s commitment to resolving the issue peacefully.
