The government should have treated Nnamdi Kanu as inconsequential – Nnamdi Kanu

Governor of Imo State,  Rochas Okorocha, has described as “a mad man”, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Okorocha said expressed how unfortunate it was for Kanu’s followers to allow themselves be manipulated by the IPOB leader.

“These young men seeking relevance as a livelihood and to tell you how daft some people can be, any mad man can just rise one day and lead a senseless agitation and he’d get followers.

“Even the way IPOB was handled by the government wasn’t right. I kept telling the government that this young man, Kanu Nnamdi, is inconsequential in the matter- treat him like who he really is.

“But now he’d been given some national attention branding the whole Igbo as IPOB members and it’s the reason for the quit notice some gave our people in the North. The matter is laughable. You cannot imagine me, Rochas being asked by IPOB that let’s go to war and I follow.

“That’s the greatest insult to people of the east. Even if you come today and start a church you name ‘Kill Every Human Being Church’, some people will still join you. There are always people for everything you do. I would have handled it differently.”
