Kamalvernor of river state, Nyesom Wike has told President Muhammadu Buhari to make sure that Nnamdi Kanu gets a free trial in court. Despite the arrest and strong evidence against Nnamdi Kanu, Governor Wike said the right of Nnamdi Kanu should be respected. Wike also cautioned the federal government from making any strange decision that will not favor the easterners.
In a statement made available to the news media, governor Wike said the president is not above the law and the law must be respected by all means. He said there is a law in the land that has provided how any individual should be treated. He said that the law must be followed in the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu because the easterners would never accept any form of illegal killing of their leader. He said Nnamdi Kanu is an important figure in the east and his prosecution must be carried out accordingly.
Governor Wike claimed that the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu will make people understand the crimes which Nnamdi Kanu has committed. He said the people in the east will never be happy with the government if Nnamdi Kanu' s prosecution does it follow due process. He said everyone is watching the president and the security department because they want to know the fate of Nnamdi Kanu.
According to Nyesom Wike, he said " We hope that President Muhammadu Buhari will follow the rule of law and allow the judges to determine the fate of Nnamdi Kanu. Everyone is watching what is happening in the country and they are interested in what the government will do to Nnamdi Kanu at the end of the day. Even though he has committed many crimes, he should be prosecuted accordingly. "
" After the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the government should also go to the north and other parts of the country to arrest the bandits and the leaders of terrorist organizations. They have caused great harm to Nigeria and the people want to know what the government is doing about it. It does not matter if we are from the same state or not, what matters is how the president and other lawmakers in the country carry out their duties, " he said.
