Alphonsus Bosah Chukwurah Nwosu, also known as ABC Nwosu, a Nigerian politician, and a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party, during an interview with The Vanguard, berated the style of governance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, compared to the time the PDP was in power. As he also criticized Tinubu’s administration for suspending the democratically elected governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara after declaring State of Emergency in the state.
When he was reacting to the claim that Nnamdi Kanu has been incarcerated for a very long time, Nwosu described Nnamdi Kanu’s detention as deeply painful and completely senseless in his view. He expressed concern that many people seemed to have lost sight of what the detention was meant to achieve, if anything at all. He pointed out that the court had already ordered Kanu’s release and questioned the basis for his continued detention.
Nwosu recalled that Kanu had previously served as the chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in London and had been a member of the Movement for the Survival of Biafra (MASSOB), asking what justification remained for holding him in custody.
Further talking, he said, “The court has said release him, release him. In my sickness, illness, about midnight, I read an apology by Godwin Kanu Agabi, SAN and I cried, and I called him about midnight and said ‘thank you for all of us.’”
“When he was apologizing for Nnamdi Kanu, and urging the Federal Government to release him, everything that Godwin Agabi said is exactly how I feel. I’ve to go, and find him, and thank him,” he added.
