Prince Emmanuel Kanu has denied reports suggesting that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, rejected attempts by former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, to resolve the ongoing crisis in the South-East through dialogue.

Recent social media claims state that Kanu dismissed Okorocha's efforts to tackle the insecurity in the region, particularly regarding the enforcement of the Monday sit-at-home order.

The reports implied that had Kanu accepted the intervention proposed by Okorocha, the insecurity in the South-East could have been peacefully resolved. They also claimed that Kanu would not have faced arrest, detention, and prosecution had he not overlooked Okorocha’s initiatives.

However, Prince Emmanuel, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, has labeled these reports as false, misleading, and without foundation.

He highlighted that, although there might be differing opinions between Kanu and Okorocha, such differences do not equate to a rejection of dialogue.

Prince Emmanuel maintained that the IPOB leader has always been open to genuine discussions aimed at addressing the intricate political and security issues in the South-East region.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has never turned down former governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha,” he stated.

“Despite any perceived disagreements, both individuals acknowledge the importance of dialogue in tackling the complex issues facing the South-East region,” Prince Emmanuel remarked on Sunday.

He dismissed efforts to portray the IPOB leader as unwilling to engage in discussions, calling such portrayals “inaccurate and far from the truth.”

According to him, peaceful engagement is essential for finding lasting solutions to the challenges facing the South-East.
