Chief Whip of the Senate and former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, on Monday paid a visit to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, where he said the latter was in good health.

In a post on his verified Facebook page, Kalu said, “This afternoon, I visited my brother, Maazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody , Abuja .

I met him in good health and care and we discussed ‘Umunne’. In 2001 when I was Governor, I made his father Eze Israel Okwu Kanu
traditional ruler of Akwara Ukwu and since then the family has been very close to me .

“I understand that Nnamdi has an insane amount of people rooting for his back home and I encouraged him to consider the consequences of certain actions and utterances for the sake of the same people.

“Even though my ideology and his ideology are totally different , God has made us brothers and we can’t run away from each other.

I owe him and Nigerians good counseling …Whether he and his family listens to me or not, I will continue counseling him as I have always done in the past. What we need most is a peaceful and secure society.”
