ABIA – Governor Alex Otti has over the weekend, visited the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Centre, Sokoto State where he assured him that his freedom is on the way.
Governor Otti while discussing with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during the visit, encouraged him to remain strong, assuring that the engagements he started over two years ago, which the IPOB Leader has been aware of, have been intensified in spite of what happened.
The Governor enjoined Kanu to remain calm, but strong, assuring that the issue will be resolved administratively and that he Mazi Kanu will regain his freedom.
Responding, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who was full of smiles thanked Governor Otti for the visit, noting that he was not surprised that the Governor visited him as he had done the same in the past.
He told the Governor that he is very proud of his giant strides in Abia based on the feedbacks he gets from home about the State since he assumed office, a feat he said is replicating what Late Dr. Sam Mbakwe did as Governor of Old Imo State which has kept him permanently immortalized. He called on the Governor to continue to serve the people diligently.
The IPOB leader told Governor Otti that he is only interested in good governance and anything that could better the lot of the people, and prayed God to continue to be with the Governor and his team as they serve the people of the State.
Governor Otti was accompanied on the visit by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ikechukwu Uwanna, SAN, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, and some top Sokoto State Government Officials, including Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu.
