Chudi Uwazurike who represented Okigwe South Federal Constituency of Imo State in the House of Representatives in the 7th Assembly on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lent his voice to the barrage of voices condemning the continued detention Nnamdi Kanu, the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Toeing the line of Prof. Charles Soludo, the former Governor of Nigeria's apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Prof Pat Utomi, he demanded the release of the detained leader.
According to him he said he ''concurs with fellow UNN Lions of my era, Prof. Pat Utomi of the Center for Leadership and Civic Values, former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Chukwuma Soludo, the ex-Nimassa MD Ferdinand Agu, and Emeka Ugwu-Oju of the South East-South South Professionals, who have patriotically called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, having been granted bail by the courts.''
Continuing, he said in his capacity as an adviser to Ako'nuche group he was with the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Nwodo and my friends Dr. Paddy Njoku and Chief Chyna Iwuanyanwu who all have a grasp of how the standoff can be addressed for a more inclusive Nigeria where the pro-Biafra activists don’t see the Igbos as marginalised by design.
His words: ''This is one of the areas in which this administration is lacking – timely attention to judicial rulings. Obeying the wisdom of the judges, even if painful for a powerful entity like the Executive arm, is the lesser of two evils in the long run. Unless the Department of State Services (DSS) has other bombshells no one else has, from all the evidence adduced so far, it seems that Kanu is guiltier of rhetorical flourishes than much else. The prisons may well be brimming if people are to be jailed for asking for the independence of their clans or zones – something that is as Nigerian as our bad roads. It is only when people cross the line to take up arms against Nigerian state that the sort of high treason charges we see in this case, would appear to apply. It is simpler and less complicated to abide by the courts and release Kanu at this stage.''
