The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has stated that he does not care what happens to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
 
The governor speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwemeodo said whether Kanu is alive or dead, he doesn't care.
 
The statement read in part: “I read about him (Kanu) on the pages of newspapers like every other Igbo man or Nigerian. Whether he lives or dies, does not have any value to add to me.”
 
Although he denied reports in some quarters saying he called for the hanging of Nnamdi Kanu, he however said the call for Biafra was uncalled for and directionless.
 
“They have no direction. They have no materials. They lack the moral strength. They also lack the spiritual muscle and that is why they will continue to misfire,” he said.
 
The statement also went further to state that since 2011 when Okorocha became governor, he never attacked or insulted anybody or any group because his godliness and orientation do not warrant him to do such things.
 
“In Imo, the elite gave him (Okorocha) all sorts of names, including ‘Alhaji in Douglas House’, yet, Imo people voted massively for him in 2011 and in 2015 too. And if there could be room for third term, they would have also voted for him.”
