Orji Kalu to Nnamdi Kanu: What Nigeria Needs is Peace…

The Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, has stated that what Nigeria needs the most is a peaceful and secured society devoid of any bad blood.

The former Governor of Abia State said this after he visited the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu at the DSS custody on Monday.

Senator Orji Kalu further revealed that he told Nnamdi Kanu to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the people who are rooting for him.

“This afternoon, 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 Afara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me.

I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for his 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 counselling…Whether he and his family listen to me or not, I will continue counselling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secured society.”
