A former governor of Abia state Orji Uzor-Kalu on Tuesday, January 3, visited the parents of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
During the visit, Legit.ng gathered, the former governor discussed the need for the release of Kanu with His Excellency Eze I. O Kanu and his wife Ugoeze Sally Kanu.

Orji-Kalu had in December 2015, visited Kanu in prison.
The former governor during his visit told Kanu that he has to be released
He also based his discussion on the analysis that a prison facility is not befitting for the IPOB leader.
However, Legit.ng further gathered that while Kanu’s parents were determined to ensure unconditional release of their son, they were also worried disobedience to court orders by the federal government.

He also said the family is waiting to hear terms the federal government would list for Kanu’s release while making it clear that the president should be negotiating with Kanu and not them (his parents).
“No discussion will take place until their son is released and the issue of asking their son to renounce Biafra is impossible and cannot be done because they believe it's what his God has asked him to do.
“They are hoping for a peaceful resolution to the matter but are not cowed by the predicament of their son,” the source added.
