Orji Kalu Tells Experience & Opinion After Visit To Nnamdi Kanu

Orji Uzor Kalu, the 61year old Senator representing Abia North has visited Nnamdi Kanu.

Nnamdi Kanu is the 54years old leader of the proscribed group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Kanu is undergoing trial – after he jumped in September 2017 and was rearrested in June 2021 – for charges of terrorism, treason, inciting the public to violence and related offences committed as arrowhead of the group he founded in 2014.

The court ordered that he remains in custody, based on his antecedent, as the trial continues.

In the face of increasing calls for his release, Kalu who is a former Governor of Abia state paid a visit to Kanu and shares his experience and opinion in a post that reads…

This afternoon, I visited my brother, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody , Abuja . I met him in good health and care and we discussed as ‘Umunne’. In 2001 when I was Governor, I made his father Eze Israel Okwu Kanu traditional ruler of Akwara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me .

I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for his back home and I encouraged him to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the same people.

Even though, my ideology and his ideology are totally different , God has made us brothers and we can’t run away from each other. I owe him and Nigerians good counseling …Whether he and his family listens to me or not, I will continue counseling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secured society.
