He gave reasons for his optimism which are:

1. Benin Republic obeys rule of law

2. A powerful legal team

Moreover, the media aide noted that the secessionist's lawyers are working very hard to secure his freedom.

He stated:

“The Benin Republic respects its laws and we have to appreciate that instead of listening to distractions. We all know that Igboho is not a criminal or terrorist.

“Let us, therefore, allow the lawyers to do their work. We all want to know the outcome of the case but let us be patient for now. Maybe, there will be more updates today or tomorrow. Whatever happens, will be in our favour.”
