Kanu Backs LP Rep In Fight Against Injustice

The family of convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has described a member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Obi Aguocha, as the defender of truth and fighter against injustice.

The Kanu family said Aguocha, who is seeking reelection in the 2027 election, has an exemplary character of loyalty.

Kanu is serving a life sentence in Sokoto prison for treason-related charges. He’s appealed against the conviction.

Hon. Aguocha is one of the leaders and voices expressing support for the IPOB leader.

Speaking on Sunday on behalf of the family, Prince Emmanuel Kanu described Aguocha as a “loyal Defender”.

“In a time when many choose silence,” he said, “Hon. Obi Aguocha chose family, chose truth, and chose to fight.”

“That kind of loyalty doesn’t come with politics, it comes from the heart,” he added.

Aguocha emerged to contest the 2027 election on the platform of the Labour Party and described his emergence as a reflection of the confidence reposed in him by the people based on his performance in office, his character, and the growing popularity of the Labour Party in Abia State.

“I feel great and happy that the people elected me and still affirmed me to return to the Federal House unopposed. It is a testament to what we have done, our character, and the significance of the Labour Party in Abia State,” Aguocha said.

“We are confident that we will win and are prepared to retain our seats. We are very optimistic that we will emerge victorious in the 2027 elections. The work we have done is proof of our commitment to the people,” he stated.

“We are not shifting our priorities, which is to serve the people of Abia State. The things we have not completed, we will accelerate efforts to ensure they are completed. We will fulfil all the promises we made to Abians,” he added.
