He said this during an interview with Arise Television on Sunday, December 17.
The Igbo leader added that the judgment of the Supreme Court on the Terrorism trial of Kanu does not bother them.
He explained that their appeal was to President Tinubu and not the apex court.
“The Supreme Court judgment doesn’t bother us because the Judge is supposed to interpret the law and carry our justice.
“We actually didn’t appeal to the Supreme Court; the appeal we made was to the President. Our President, His Excellency Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, that’s the person to whom we actually made the appeal, and I believe that our President will realise that if all Igbos are saying one thing, then there must be something in it.
Supreme Court gives verdict on Kanu's fate
Earlier, Legit.ng reported the Supreme Court dismissed the judgement of the Court of Appeal that discharged and acquitted Kanu on the case of treason levelled against him by the federal government.
According to the Supreme Court, Kanu was illegally brought to Nigeria from Kenya after he jumped bail. Such would not have happened if the embattled leader of IPOB had not jumped the jurisdiction to continue his trial.
