The meeting between former Senate President, Anyim Pius, Chief Olisa Metuh, former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday was to discuss how two incarcerated prominent Igbo sons would regain their freedom, SaharaReporters has learnt.

EXCLUSIVE: Pius Anyim, Olisa Metuh’s Meeting With Tinubu Was To Discuss How To Free Ekweremadu, Nnamdi Kanu–Presidency SourcesPresidency sources revealed to SaharaReporters that Anyim and Metuh had a discussion with the president about how Ike Ekweremadu, former Deputy Senate President who was convicted in the UK for an organ harvesting plot and Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra would be freed.

The duo, who were very critical of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the buildup to the 2015 elections, arrived at the Presidential Villa before the 2 pm scheduled for the meeting. In a letter dated October 25, 2022, and addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Metuh stated that his decision to leave the party was taken in the course of his recent medical trip abroad.

The sources noted that the duo understand that Ekweremadu's case is complex because he is in jail in the United Kingdom but wants the President to commit to the cause nonetheless, believing he can help secure freedom for the former lawmaker as Nigeria's leader. A medical doctor, Obinna Obeta, 56, also bagged 10 years after the judge found that he had “targeted the potential donor, who was young, poor and vulnerable”.
