The Governor also expressed satisfaction that the Sultan of Sokoto shares his position on the need to de-escalate tension and pursue a peaceful resolution.

According to Otti, the Sultan joked that Kanu had become his subject and that he intended to turbane him, a remark that reportedly made the IPOB leader burst into laughter.

Kanu, who appeared in high spirits throughout the visit, thanked the Governor for what he described as a consistent show of concern.

“I am not surprised you came so quickly. You did the same in the past. I am very proud of your giant strides in Abia. The feedback from home shows what you are doing, reminding us of what the late Dee Sam Mbakwe did, which has kept him permanently immortalised," he told Otti.

Kanu added that his primary interest remains “good governance and anything that could better the lot of the people,” and prayed for God’s guidance for the Governor and his administration.
