Uwazuruike Criticizes Southeast-Governors And Senators For Politicizing Kanu’s Potential-Release (Details)

Leader of Biafra Independence Movement Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has faulted how Southeast Governors and  Senators have been politicising possible of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

Uwazuruike, who is the founder of Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra(MASSOB), said even President  Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not have the absolute powers to order Kanu’s immediate release without seeking advice from the National Security Adviser (NSA).

In a statement on Saturday by the group’s Director of Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, Uwazuruike said:  ”it was not the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, who is a  government lawyer  or  the President  who is the Commander -in -Chief  of the Armed Forces is holding Kanu  but the Security Chiefs.”

Rather than meet the Service Chiefs including the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Chief  of Naval Staff,  Chief of Air  Staff and Chief of  Defence  Staff, Uwazuruike faulted the approach being taken by the  Governors and Senators from the zone.

He advised the Governors from the region to meet the NSA with convincing security report on why Kanu should be freed.

He stated that rather than meeting the NSA, who usually advises  the President based on available security reports, the Governors and Senators were busy hobnobbing in Abuja taking photographs and claiming to be  working for  his possible release without following the proper procedures.
