Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR for his believe in the rule of law. I thank also
the various State Governors who condemned my illegal arrest and fought
to see my release.I also thank the distinguished members of the National Assembly for
their support in voicing out my illegal arrest, the traditional rulers
across the divide from the North to the South, your support and
contribution to my release is well noted. Thank you.To all the Media organizations, various human rights groups, the youths, the #FreeInnoson social media crusaders and everybody who gave a voice to condemn my illegal arrest, thank you all.
I still maintain that my arrest was illegal, as there was never a
period that EFCC under the leadership of Ibrahim Magu invited me for any
reason. In due time, I will tell Nigerians the whole truth about this
matter. I intend to work faithfully with the EFCC on this alleged
investigation so as to clear my name which has been badly damaged, and I
will follow up this so called investigation to its logical conclusion.Once again, thank you my fellow Nigerians, with this high level of
support and love showered on me during this period of my travail, I
reiterate my strong resolve on the robust industrialization project of
our dear nation, which will make her truly great again. I thank you all
once more for your support”.
