Python Dance: Why I Don’t Talk About Nnamdi Kanu Again – Gov. Wike

I have been receiving many calls from different groups of people and even from Aso Villa wanting to know the real deal why I stopped talking about IPOB leader NNAMDI KANU.

There is something extraordinary about him that you cannot defeat no matter how hard you try, anything you try to stop him is immaterial, a man who has more followers than any human on the face of the earth currently now, to defeat him, will be mathematically impossible.

If you kill him, the fight will not only end here, but to other countries, if you detain him, the World and Biafrans will agitate for his release even at gun point.

The only way to handle that man is to over look him, let him have his way, don’t use force on him, because that will never work, but will add more wounds to already bad wound. At least since I have over look him, I can now have peace of mind and face my work as a governor of the people.

Wike made this statement while addressing journalists during his speech in government house portharcourt.
