Anambra Governor, Willie Obiano of Anambra has expressed support for the position of the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo which warn against the plan by the federal government to re-arrest leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB), Nnamdi Kanu on an alleged breach of his bail conditions.
The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Obiano on Political Affairs, Arinzechukwu Awogu who conveyed his commendation to Ohanaeze while addressing the National Executive Committee of thebgroup at its secretariat, said re-arresting Kanu would aggravate the already tensed security situation and inflame unnecessary passion.
Awogu, who is also the liaison officer of Anambra state on Biafran War Veterans, told journalists after meeting with the Ohanaeze Executive
that his mission was to convey Obiano’s position and encourage the apex Igbo group on the herculean task of steering Igbo ship to safe dock and to pledge the governor’s support and cooperation.
“We are also happy with the position of Ohanaeze Ndigbo that Anambra governorship election must hold.
“Basically my address to them is in giving them the words of the governor of Anambra state and then encouraging them and letting them to know that that this administration of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has not disappointed Ndigbo and we are happy with them and want them to continue very forcefully and strongly and also i realised that we must shake hands across the Niger,” he said.
