@Albashsolution

Don't wait for him to show remorse or call for peace... You can still do good without collateral Sir.

@Dannymasterp

That's the greatest tragedy about the southeast insurgency under Kanu Leadership - Kanu has never for once accept for peace deal, He never listens to no one and we can all see as he continues to insult everyone in the country even right in front of the supreme judge inside our federal high court that's how he keeps insulting everyone and showing deaf ears for any major peace call.

@Ezzysteve247

I know you people and your intentions but let me tell you, no going back on this mandate .. Continue to negotiate with your people and government, it'll affect everyone one as it's doing now. It's like a plague, it doesn't isolate anyone but it'll infect everyone.
