Deji Adeyanju Says Nnamdi Kanu’s Release Will Harm Peter Obi/DATTI #YUSUF‘s Chances—The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Deji Adeyanju has said that the release of Nnamdi Kanu will tilt the election the other way in the South East.
This online news platform gathered that the Abuja based political commentator said Nnamdi Kanu’s release will douse down the momentum in the South East and will most definitely affect the Peter Obi presidential ambition.
Speaking with DAILY POST, Adeyanju said: “His continued incarceration might not affect the 2023 general election except if he has access to social media in detention which is most unlikely.
“However, I think it’s Nnamdi Kanu’s release that is likely to tilt the election the other way. If he is released, I think the political momentum in the Southeast will douse down, and it will be counterproductive to Obi.
“That is why you can see that Obi’s supporters did not celebrate when the Court of Appeal ruled that he should be released.
“They saw that he would spoil their momentum if he is released, and you can understand that politically speaking; because Kanu will not likely not ask people to vote or support a politician.
“We all know his stance over the affairs of Nigeria, but that is not to say that even from prison, if he begins to issue certain directives to his followers, most of them would not comply.”
Recall that an Appeal Court in Abuja had ordered Kanu’s release after discharging and acquitting him of all terrorism charges.
