Biafra: How IPOB Can Get Nnamdi Kanu Released – VON DG, Okechukwu

 

A member of the All Progressives Congress and Director-General, Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu has called on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to restrategise in order to have its leader, Nnamdi Kanu released from custody.

 

According to Okechukwu, IPOB should join the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to seek political solution regarding Nnamdi Kanu’s release.

 

He opined this would help the South-East pursue its presidential ambition.

 

Okechukwu gave the advise on Sunday in a chat with reporters in Enugu.

 

“IPOB should join Prof. George Obiozor-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo to kill two birds with one stone”, he counseled.

 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said shutting down states would cause more loss of lives.

 

Okechukwu warned that such would also lead to poverty, underdevelopment and stagnation of the region’s economy.

 

 

Okechukwu said though people share IPOB’s agitation for secession, Igbo people had passed the road of civil war.

 

“The pragmatic route is political solution in collaboration with the Ohaneze, let’s sheath our swords”, the VON chief appealed.
