Nigerians on Wednesday, December 30 2015
reacted to the reports of the lawyer of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Vincent Obetta that his client
apologized to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The reports stated that Kanu apologised to President Buhari for
referring to him as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile in his radio
broadcasts.
The apology was reportedly contained in a statement which the 48-year-old pro-Biafran agitator made available to the DSS on October 23.
The statement read in parts: “Reference to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as a terrorist, evil and a paedophile is regrettable and uncalled for and for that, I unreservedly apologise and will be doing so in a private letter to the President. Before PMB (President Buhari) there was the administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
” I also said uncomplimentary things about him and Igbo elders as well, which I now recognise should not have happened because it is un-African to be rude or insolent to elders. All I was trying to do is to draw attention to the problems afflicting society and something done about them.”
