The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Prof. Peter Umeadi says he will consider a political solution for the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (Biafra) Nnamdi Kanu if he becomes Nigeria’s leader.
Kanu, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since last year, is being tried for treasonable felony.
And the former Chief Judge of Anambra State believes a political solution, which he likened to amnesty, can resolve the matter.
Umeadi, who was on Wednesday elected as the party’s flagbearer, also dismissed insinuations that APGA does not have a structure strong enough to contest for the country’s number one position.
He argued that APGA has a nationwide spread with leaders across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Prof. Umeadi also refuted claims that the party is a regional one, insisting that it “is a misconception in terms of how APGA is arranged”.
According to him, it will be hasty to conclude that APGA is a regional party, saying they will “return a good and surprising result” after the 2023 general elections.
