The youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has reacted angrily to the outburst by Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor on the recent visit of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody.
Ejiofor, the lead counsel for Nnamdi Kanu, had called for an inquiry into the visit by the former governor of Abia State to his client in the DSS custody on Monday.
In fact, Kalu paid a visit to the IPOB leader, who is being held in DSS custody as a result of a court order, a visitation Ejiofor frowned at.
But the spokesman of Ohanaeze Youths Assembly, Mr. Philip Ajah, warned the IPOB lawyer to stop attacking the Chief Whip of the Senate.
The group said Ejiofor’s action is regrettable and embarrassing to Ndigbo and those who love Nnamdi Kanu.
The group noted that as a former governor of Abia Abia State, Senator Kalu, is a respected Igbo leader, who is working hard to negotiate the release of the detained IPOB leader.
“We cannot but expressed regret in the action of Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor who is now acting like a President of lost group without direction. Obviously, his action was to paint an illustrious Igbo son bad in the eyes of the masses for reasons best known to him.
“There is no crime for a high ranking government official like Senator Kalu to visit his brother in DSS custody. Kalu should be commended for courage, boldness and solidarity to the IPOB leader. For him to have summoned the courage to visit Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is very commendable…”
