Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose is drumming for support for the self acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The governor Tuesday stormed an Abuja Federal High Court where he was photographed hugging Kanu.
After the court session, he told newsmen that:
“I’m trying to work with other well meaning Nigerians to raise funds for Kanu so that he can fund his lawyers and meet his immediate family needs.
“We are going to ensure that the injustice meted out to him does not destroy him. He has parents, wife and children to take care of. I appeal to Nigerians to support this just cause.”
“As many as lawyers willing to fight the oppression should join the struggle for liberation from the oppression.
“Those willing can send their correspondence to Governors Office or reach me on my telephone line 070300000393 or myemail:[email protected].
“We are just driving the cause. As soon as we receive his account details we will be made available. The money will be used for him and others in incarceration with him.
“We believe in coexistence of Nigeria. People have the right to agitate for independence. Even in traditional institution people agitate for autonomy.
“When people agitate and they cannot get it, they drop the idea. It is not for you to silence them. That is oppression. Agitation is legitimate”, he said.
