“I salute your spirit Nnamdi Kanu. Keep the hope alive; one day, history will be on your side. I have come to identify with the Igbo nation, the people that are under great torture and embarrassment and harassment. We have seen today, tomorrow the story will get better,” he added.

Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Kanu bail to the tune of N100 million.

Kanu however rejected the bail offer because his three co-accused persons were not granted bail by the court.
