Laolu Akande, a former presidential aide, has expressed surprise regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s recent efforts to seek a political resolution rather than face judicial proceedings.

In a recent interview on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, Akande shared his insights into the ongoing legal and political complexities surrounding Kanu’s case.

“Nnamdi Kanu’s issue is very sensitive. Not only does it have implications for issues of law and order, but it also has more implications on issues of politics,” Akande said.

“There are those who say that ‘this man has been accused of certain things, very grievous allegations, and they will have to be proven in court.’ These individuals argue that Kanu is responsible for certain chaos or statements traced to him.”

Rishi Sunak on Friday apologised to the public after his Conservatives were trounced by Labour in the United Kingdom general election, and said he would step down as party leader.

The 44-year-old former financier gambled on going to the country six months before he had to, hoping that better economic data would swing public support back towards the Tories.

But Thursday’s vote indicated that Britons wanted to send a clear message to the party by kicking them out of power after 14 years of economic hardships, Brexit upheaval and Tory.
