Okorocha Sends Akpabio to Tinubu over Incarcerated Kanu
A former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has sent a clear and unambiguous message to the president, Bola Tinubu through the Senate President Godswill Akpabio over the continued detention of the leader of IPOB Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu was extradited from Kenya when former president Muhammadu Buhari was in power. He has since been behind the bars with several court cases as he faces prosecution for sedition.
Mr. Okorocha made the appeal during the night of tribute in honour of the late Anambra senator Ifeanyi Ubah. Online Parrot News reported that the lawmaker died abroad and on Tuesday, the Senate held a session in his honour.
He said: “I’ve not died before, and I don’t intend to die soon, but I do know that the Ikemba Ojukwus, the Ekwuemes, and these great leaders of note who have left us, since the spirit never dies, I’m sure they are having a meeting somewhere. I can only imagine what kind of meeting it is.
“Their meeting is about Ndi Igbo. And Ndi Igbo, hear me, what is the likely thing these leaders are discussing now, including the youngest of them, Ifeanyi Ubah?
“The question they are asking is ‘Igbos, why do you play the politics of hate? Why do you hate one another?
“Ojukwu recalls his quarrels with Ekwueme, and now they say it is vanity. Inwanyi recalls his quarrels with Enwerem, and now they are in one place. And so, they are asking Igbos to embrace peace.
“Before the death of Iwuanyanwu, he made a plea to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Ifeanyi Ubah made a statement in the same line.
“I want to say to you, my brother, Senate President, convey this message on behalf of these Igbos who are seated that the best way to honour these great young men is the release of Nnamdi Kanu so that the Igbos can go home and reunite their place.”
