There have been mixed reactions following the visit of Anambra State Governor, Prof Charles Soludo to the imprisoned leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu on Friday, May 13, 2022.
The visit was made known to the public in a post on Soludo’s official Twitter handle (@CCSoludo) on Sunday, May 15, 2022, where the Anambra Governor visited the IPOB leader as “part of the wider consultations with critical stakeholders in search of lasting peace and security in the South-East”.
In reaction to the post, some Nigerians expressed their displeasure at the visit, while others hailed the move as a welcome step towards longlasting peace.
Here are some reactions from Nigerians on Twitter
@UchePOkoye IPOB was against the election that produced Soludo in Anambra state. Imagine for a second that there was a state of emergency as you wished and Mohammed from Katsina is the Military Gov. Who would have visited Nnamdi Kanu y’all are sharing his pictures? Nweenu Ako na Uche!
@AfamDeluxo I like how you guys are giving Soludo kudos for visiting Nnamdi Kanu. Today, he is no longer a Sabo, zoo Governor, Otellectual, etc. I hope you guys also applaud him when he begins to clamp down on those doing sacrilegious things in Anambra under the guise of freedom fighting.

@julietkego In the end, everything ends on the negotiation table. Soludo is wise to use a 2-pronged approach: arrest/prosecute criminals/UGM in Alaigbo, & broker peace with Kanu Next step shd be for Soludo to formally seek the arrest/prosecution of the likes of Simon Ekpa & others globally.
@von_Bismack According to Gov. Soludo, he said that Nnamdi Kanu showed a great displeasure over the killings and brutal enforcement of the sit-at-home in the Southeast. This shows that Simon Ekpa and his autopiloters are 5th columnists
@celestocaculus Gov. Soludo went to pay a visit to Nnamdi Kanu. This is a very welcome gesture. If Gov. Soludo is in good terms with Kanu then those causing mayhem in Anambra state & the rest of southeast need to tell us who they’re doing it for.

@Egi_nupe There’s nothing legally wrong with Charles Soludo visiting Nnamdi Kanu in custody. Moreover, Kanu is presumed innocent until his guilt is established. Let’s just hope a different song will not grace this street whenever the table turns. It is good to see Kanu looking fresh.
