Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has officially refuted claims suggesting that he interfered with President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). In a statement delivered by his Special Adviser on Public Communications, Collins Ughalaa, Uzodinma attributed these allegations to political sabotage by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the lead-up to the impending state governorship election.InformationGuideNigeria
Governor Uzodinma emphasized that the PDP has turned to such tactics due to their apparent concern over a potential defeat in the forthcoming election. He firmly stated that the narrative about him obstructing Tinubu’s involvement in the Kanu case is completely unfounded.JAMB Result
The statement reads in part: “We know that the disgruntled opposition party can do anything, including supporting or sponsoring terror in the state, but we thought the party still had some shame. However, the recent desperation to blackmail Governor Hope Uzodinma with the fake story that the governor is blocking the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu shows that the party is capable of doing any evil without scruples.NYSC Portal

“In a fake story titled: ‘Uzodinma blocking the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu – Tinubu,’ and being circulated by the PDP and their agents, the party falsely accused the governor of blocking the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“The story is false in its entirety. Not only did President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not make the statement they falsely credited to him, the governor never made any move to block Kanu’s release, nor did he reach out to the President not to release Kanu. There is no reason for such a move whatsoever.”JAMB Portal
