Letter On Nnamdi Kanu: Ihedioha Fingers Gov Uzodimma

The former governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has accused the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodimma, of being behind a purported letter demanding that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra not be released.

In a statement published on his social media pages on Sunday, Ihedioha said a voice note circulating online where he was allegedly issuing threats and a letter to the Minister of Justice, urging him not to release Kanu, were “criminally” forged to pitch him against the people.

Part of the statement read, “It is laughable and preposterous, knowing my background and predicament that I will be writing to the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation, asking him to continue to illegally hold on to Nnamdi Kanu even after a court of competent jurisdiction had discharged him. What benefits will such a letter confer on me in a matter of such public concern, sensitivity and volatility. How does that make sense?

“If anyone should be afraid of a free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, it is Hope Uzodimma. The fact that he and fellow characters will concoct such a letter shows the level they are prepared to go in order to hang on to the power they acquired through dubious means.”
