Special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy Bayo Onanuga has debunked the rumour that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma was blocking the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

A false report had quoted Tinubu as saying that Kanu’s release from prison was being frustrated by Uzodimma.

The report also falsely claimed that the president made the statement on Monday at the State House, Abuja while addressing Igbo business community who visited him to discuss tax increment on importation of goods.

Debunking the report, Mr Onanuga said in a rebuttal shared on X on Tuesday: “The people of Imo State should please disregard the fake news in circulation that Governor Hope Uzodimma is blocking the release by President Bola Tinubu of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

“The fake news is obviously designed to build some resentment against the governor who has done very well for his people and who deserves a second term via Saturday’s election.
