If the judiciary rules that he is free, I will not interfere. If they decide otherwise, I will also respect the judgment. My role is to let Nigeria’s judiciary function independently,” Peter Obi stated, hinting at his stance on Nnamdi Kanu’s case.

He further addressed concerns from Northerners who fear he might use his position to free Kanu because he is Igbo. Obi clarified, “I have no personal or political business with Nnamdi Kanu or the Nigerian judiciary. The court will decide, not me.”
