Orji Uzor Kalu addressing the newsmen |
Dr orji Uzor kalu visited the IPOB general and front line Biafria struggle evangelist, mazi Nnamdi Kanu at kuje prison. After securing the release of earlier detained IPOB members, the popular 'Action Governor' Kalu wants Kanu released immediately.
He said: "I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje Prison and we engaged in a very long discussion. Kanu is my brother and a son of the soil. He shouldn't be where he is because Kuje Prison is not his home. It is therefore my utmost concern to see him regain his freedom like every other Nigerian".
Having been the arrowhead of the Indigenous people of Biafra IPOB, Kanu was detained on a 6 count charges, including 'Treasonable Felony' by the Nigerian Federal Government. Mazi Kanu has been in detention since last year, October 2015 despite several court orders to release him on bail
Nnamdi Kanu, who hails from the South Eastern part of Nigeria, the region that is agitating for a separate nation called Biafra. He has been arraigned several times without bail.
Meanwhile, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu had recently told some bloggers from the southeast who paid him a courtesy visit at his Igbere home town, Abia State that he has been making a way to plead to President Muahammadu Buhari to enable his release Nnamdi Kanu.We believe the visit will yield a good result, as Orji Kalu has been the only one apart from Nnamdi Kanu that has been fighting for the Igbo cause.
Orji Uzor Kalu visited Nnamdi Kanu out of his sympathy and personal concern, but as a member of the APC, it's understandable to accrue it as part of the benefits of having a recognized figure like him in the APC.
Keep Hope Alive....
IGBO KWENU !!!
