He advised South East politicians against compounding the travails of the IPOB leader.
Expressing dismay, Obidigbo noted that some Igbo political elites are mishandling the popular demand for Kanu’s release, driven by ignorance and self-interest.
He added that overzealous politicians are acting out of ignorance and primarily for self-aggrandizement.
