Elderstatesman, Dr Chike Obidigbo has urged politicians, especially those from the South-East, against compounding the travails of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Obidigbo expressed regret that some Igbo political elites are going about the ongoing popular demand for the release of the embattled IPOB leader the wrong way, stressing that the overzealous politicians are acting out of ignorance and mostly in self-aggrandisement.
In a statement made available to journalists in Enugu, on Sunday, Obidigbo, who is the President of Osisioma Foundation, noted that the delicate nature of Kanu’s incarceration requires quiet diplomacy to achieve a political solution, without politicising the young man’s release, the way they are going about it.
