News Fighting for Nnamdi Kanu’s freedom denied me many benefits – Reps member, Aguocha Published on April 15, 2026 By Daniel Chibuike googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1500386953281-8'); }); The member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal constituency in the National Assembly, Obi Aguocha has said that he is losing a lot of things because of his continued demand for the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Aguocha also said that many Igbo leaders were avoiding talking about Nnamdi Kanu and other challenges facing the Igbo people in Nigeria. He said that his consistent demand for the release of Kanu and many other people in that gap, has resulted in his being profiled in a negative perspective. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); The Reps member, who said that he has the sole mandate of the IPOB leader to negotiate his release, said such approval spoke loud about the confidence Kanu has in him. “I know what I have lost as a member of the House of Representatives for speaking up for Nnamdi Kanu and other constitutional issues, the positions I have taken. “I know what I am losing now because they have marked me, ‘okay he is always on this side’ but I don’t regret it any moment,” Aguocha said. He challenged Igbo leaders to form a united front to secure Kanu’s freedom the same way the Yoruba leaders successfully worked for Sunday Igboho’s release. He, however, praised Governor Alex Otti for his initiative to mobilize South East Governors for the free Nnamdi Kanu drive. Aguocha also told the Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu that he cannot defeat Governor Alex Otti in 2027 election.
