Former Abia State Governor and Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu announced on Monday that he visited the leader of IPoB, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
Dr Kalu, who represents Abia South in the Senate, took to his Facebook page, after the visit, to talk about his encounter with Mazi Kanu whom he described as his brother.
Read his three-paragraph post: “This afternoon (Monday, November 29, 2021), I visited my brother, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody, Abuja. I met him in good health and care and we discussed as ‘Umunne’. In 2001 when I was Governor, I made his father Eze Israel Okwu Kanu
traditional ruler of Akwara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me.
“I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for him back home and I encouraged him to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the same people.
“Even though, my ideology and his ideology are totally different, God has made us brothers and we can’t run away from each other. I owe him and Nigerians good counsel ….Whether he and his family listen to me or not, I will continue counseling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secure society.
