Special Adviser to the president on political matters, Babafemi Ojudu,
says the presidency does not consider leader of the Indeginous People of
Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, as a leader of thought in the South East.
Speaking to journalists on Sunday, Ojudu said the consultations
currently being carried out by acting president Yemi Osinbajo is
strictly with identifiable leaders of thought and at the moment, Kanu is
not one of such leaders in the South East. He said:
“Well, the thing is that we were looking for leaders of the people,
leaders of thought and we do not see him as a leader of thought in the
east. May be opportunity will come at one time or the other for him to
be engaged. But so far, what we have done is to look at people who have
influence in the communities, whether it is religious, whether it is
traditional, whether it is political, social or governance. These are
the people we brought in for discussion”.
