Nigeria's former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode, has described IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as an astute and knowledgeable person.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said he met Kanu when he was recently remanded in Kuje prisons.
He said they spoke for about three hours and they were protected by inmates during the meeting.
The ex-minister added, “When I went to visit the great and brilliant freedom fighter, Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of IPOB and easily the most courageous, powerful and credible Igbo leader in Nigeria today in his cell we had a very instructive and long discussion.
“I had never met Nnamdi before and I was amazed at his depth of knowledge, his immense courage and his deep convictions. There is no doubt in my mind that that man is going places and in him the Igbo have an Ojukwu and a Nnamdi Azikiwe all rolled into one. He is destined for greatness.
“My Boko Haram friends accompanied me to that meeting, drew a 10-man security cordon around me when we entered the general population of the prison and waited outside as Nnamdi and I spoke for almost three hours.”
He stated this in an article released on Wednesday titled "Head bloodied but not bowed and the ascension of President-Elect Donald Trump."
