The governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has
distanced himself from the incarcerated leader of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and his cause.
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.”
