Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu has revealed he met with Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB in DSS custody today.

According to him, they discussed as brothers during the meeting where he encouraged him to consider certain comments and actions for sake of the people.

He took to Facebook and wrote:

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 counseling …Whether he and his family listens to me or not, I will continue counseling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secured society.

Orji Uzor Kalu
