Reacting tobthis, Omokri via his Twitter handle urged President Buhari to seek for a royal pardon for Ekweremadu as a parting gift to Nigeria adding that history will remember him for good if the request is granted.
He tweeted, “As a parting gift to Nigeria, I appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to use his private audience with King Charles III to appeal for a royal prerogative of mercy for Senator Ike Ekweremadu, which is within the power of the British monarch.
“The President will forever be appreciated and remembered for this gesture to a man who has served Nigeria loyally and dedicatedly and who only committed the crime he was convicted of because of desperation, as a loving father of a child in dire need of a kidney transplant.”
