The Presidency has denied reports claiming that Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State “blocked” President Bola Tinubu from releasing Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Onanuga explained that Tinubu never met with Igbo businessmen with the aim of releasing Kanu. Tinubu was reported to have said during this during a meeting that the Governor gave reasons why releasing Kanu before the Imo elections was dangerous. The statement reads, “The people of Imo State should please disregard the fake news in circulation that Governor Hope Uzodimma is blocking the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu by President Bola Tinubu.
