Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, has suggested a solution to the ongoing insecurity in Nigeria.
In a video statement on Monday via X, Fayose proposed that Bola Tinubu could potentially resolve the security crisis by releasing and collaborating with Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Drawing a parallel to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s strategy in the Niger Delta, Fayose said, “If President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan could give a contract to Tompolo to achieve peace in the Niger Delta, why can’t we do the same in the South East?”
Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, is a former militant commander of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta. The Jonathan administration reportedly engaged him to help secure oil installations in the region.
Expressing his views, Fayose argued that releasing Kanu could potentially reduce security spending in the South East by half.
He said, “If we are spending so much money on security in the south East, the money will be reduced by 50% releasing Kanu.

“If I be president Tinubu, after election when I noticed that the South East people didn’t vote for me, I would have released Kanu to counter them.”
“At least me releasing Kanu can make some of them (south easterners) to say oh this man has a good intention.”
He suggested that Tinubu could approach Kanu saying, “My son you know what I need your help to restore peace in the South East, I will give him all it takes.”
Kanu, the leader and founder of IPOB was arrested by the ex-president Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
