Iwuanyawu said he met with Kanu and talked at length. Iwuanyawu said that IPOB has denied involvement in violence, and that whatever insecurity in the East is criminality and not agitation. He said that Nnamdi Kanu is sad and angry that some people may be hiding under agitation to commit criminal actsHe reiterated that Kanu is against the killing of Soldiers, enforcement of sit at home or denying children the opportunity to take exams.Iwuanyawu said that if IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu were responsible for insecurity in the East, they would not enjoy the widespread support they have today in that area. Iwuanyawu said that Nnamdi Kanu is a manifestation of the discrimination against Igbo people in Nigeria. He reminded the reporters that some Yorubas are asking for Oduduwa Republic, some Ijaws are asking for a seperate country, some Northerners are doing the same, so agitation to leave Nigeria is nothing new. He called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu through a political process He reiterated that the only way to solve the problem of Nigeria is to restructure the country and give powers back to the federating units so everyone can develop according to their talent. He said that the constitution has given whoever is President of Nigeria too much powers he or she shouldn't have. He ended by saying that if Nigeria refuses to restructure, nothing will change.
