Leader of Biafra Independence Movement Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has faulted how Southeast Governors and Senators have been politicising possible of detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

Uwazuruike, who is the founder of Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra(MASSOB), said even President Bola Ahmed Tinubu does not have the absolute powers to order Kanu’s immediate release without seeking advice from the National Security Adviser (NSA).

In a statement on Saturday by the group’s Director of Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, Uwazuruike said: ”it was not the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, who is a government lawyer or the President who is the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces is holding Kanu but the Security Chiefs.”

Rather than meet the Service Chiefs including the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff and Chief of Defence Staff, Uwazuruike faulted the approach being taken by the Governors and Senators from the zone.

He advised the Governors from the region to meet the NSA with convincing security report on why Kanu should be freed.

He stated that rather than meeting the NSA, who usually advises the President based on available security reports, the Governors and Senators were busy hobnobbing in Abuja taking photographs and claiming to be working for his possible release without following the proper procedures. (The Nation)
