The Abia State Government has denied reports making the rounds that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu gave Leader of the Indigeneous People of Biafa (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu 21days to return home and claim his crown as the traditional ruler of Isiama Afaraukwu community or he will appoint his replacement.
The Government in a statement through the Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi-Kalu also denied fingering Kanu as being responsible for the underdevelopment of the State.
Okiyi-Kalu said there is no element of truth to the report adding that it was the work of those seeking cheap attention.
The report had quoted the Governor as saying when ever he sought Financial help from the Federal Government, he is often denied becouse he is harbouring terrorists.

In the fake news, the Governor had reportedly said Kanu who is heir to the throne of Isiama Afaraukwu community had fled after commiting a crime and following his father’s death, if he does not return to claim it, he will forfeit it to someone the Governor appoints.
The reality is, the traditional stool can not remain vacant forever and Kanu may not be coming back home soon so the Government will have to do something.
For Kanu, it is either duty to his people back home or a life a rebel.
