Former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzo Kalu, has said he has what it takes to bring leader of the indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu back to Nigeria and convince him to drop the agitation for secession.
The senator said for him to make it possible, he only needs the permission of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Kalu, in a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, said Nnamdi Kanu will listen to him.
The Senate Chief Whip made the disclosure in reaction to the recent altercation between members of IPOB and security personnel in Enugu state.
The former governor who noted that he is a believer in one Nigeria, said he believes that citizens are so entangled with each other that no one should be talking about separation.
According to the former governor, what people in he country need to do now is focus on taking advantage of Nigeria’s population to build a stronger economy.
“If the Federal Government permits me, I will go to the United Kingdom and negotiate with Nnamdi Kanu to return to Nigeria.
“I will convince him to drop the agitation for Biafra because our people don’t need it,” Kalu said.
He maintained that what is needed at this point is a united Nigeria that will allow different cultures and tongues to live peacefully in any part of the country.
