Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has reportedly visited the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in custody.

The reported visit, according to sources, was aimed at offering words of encouragement to Kanu, who is currently being held in prison custody.Jonathan was reportedly quoted as telling the IPOB leader: “God will guide you and make you stronger.

Your tomorrow will speak better than today. Always remember the case of Mandela; he was later celebrated at last. No hope is lost.”The reported meeting has sparked reactions across political and social circles, with some describing the former president’s alleged visit as a gesture of solidarity and encouragement to Kanu during his period in detention.

The reference to former South African President Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison before becoming a national leader and symbol of reconciliation, has also drawn attention to the message reportedly delivered by Jonathan.

However, official confirmation of the visit has not been obtained from the relevant authorities as of the time of filing this report.

Further details about the circumstances surrounding the reported meeting and the issues discussed between the two men remain unclear.
