He says the magnanimity shown by the federal government by this gesture is one of the shortest and surest ways to the peace and unity of Nigeria, which is not negotiable.
More so he thanks all the men and women of good will who facilitated the release and urges them not to relent until absolute peace and harmony is achieved in Nigeria.

Moreover, the APGA national chairman implores the federal government to extend its patriotic gesture to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,who has been in detention for awhile now. So that he will be able to take care of his family and the newly born baby.

Dr Oye also urges the government to open more avenues and channels of discussion with all the other groups,who are protesting and demanding self determination and separate entities from the Nigeria,for the common good of all.
Meanwhile, he urges all Nigerians to love one another and be law abiding.
