Nnamdi Kanu: All Hope Not Lost - Deputy Speaker, Kalu

...Political Solution Underway to Secure His Release

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Rep. Benjamin Okezie Kalu Kalu, PhD, CFR has expressed optimism that the leader of the Indigenous People's of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be freed through a political approach.

He said that all hope for his freedom is not lost.

Kalu's submission came after a federal high court in Abuja sentenced him to life imprisonment on Thursday.

The Deputy Speaker said that a political solution is being pursued to ultimately secure Kanu's release.

Kalu also expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR to listen to the pleas of well-meaning Igbo leaders on the matter, saying that the President will not be averse to it.

He urged the people of the South East and indeed, all Nigerians to remain calm, assuring that all hope is not lost.

He said "It is now time to explore political solutions that had been hindered because the matter was before the court. But now that the court has finished, it is time to intensify request for the President's intervention and we are sure that the President is not averse to it. We are going to get it. All hope is not lost. Our people should remain calm."

Signed~:

Levinus Nwabughiogu, Chief Press Secretary to the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Just In: SMART SCHOOL OR SMART LOOTING? ANOTHER RECEIPT FROM IGBERE

This image is Elu-Okwe Primary School in Amaukwu Igbere, Bende LGA—a living, breathing school, not a rumour or propaganda. Yet the Abia State Government claimed it was demolished because it had been awarded for upgrade to a smart school. Today, no smart school exists. The roof is failing, classrooms leak, and pupils still run for cover whenever it rains. Despite community appeals for urgent renovation, intervention was halted on the grounds that the project had been “awarded.” Months later, nothing has happened. This raises serious questions about the state’s claim of spending ₦100 billion on public school repairs. Smart schools do not disappear, and infrastructure does not exist only on paper. Abia people are no longer asking for explanations—they are demanding results. Where are the smart schools?

The office clarified that the land along the Umuahia–Bende Road was communally donated, not allocated by the state government, and described allegations of unauthorized demolition of school facilities as baseless. It further accused the Otti administration of deliberate propaganda aimed at undermining genuine development efforts, while reaffirming the Deputy Speaker’s commitment to attracting critical infrastructure to Abia State in the interest of the people.
