He condemned in strong terms the recent outburst of the ex-Niger Delta militant leader, Asari Dokubo, asking the federal government not to release the IPOB leader.
Mr. Okeke-Ogene said that such a call was prompted by personal and selfish interests to attract favour from the government.
According to Okeke-Ogene, the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu is not in the interest of the country since different courts of competent jurisdiction “have already freed him.”
He assured that Igbo stakeholders are not relenting in the efforts to ensure that Mr. Kanu is released.
