Osita Chidoka, has dismissed accusations that he supports leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to achieve popularity to fuel his political ambition.
He said, “The law took its course on him. He got bailed from a court, I now participated in ensuring that the bridge of communication between the angry young people in the South East and the rest of the country is a burden I believe I bear as a young minister.
“As a young former Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Corps, I believe I serve as a beautiful bridge; I serve as that bridge that connects the dreams of Nigeria with the people of Ndi-Igbo.
“If it was a popularity contest, I’m sure that candidate would have gone for it. The issue is the fundamental philosophy of the right of individuals in a democracy to freely express themselves within the laws of the country.
“Once we have that right as enshrined in our Constitution, I believe we must respect it and if anybody violates the terms of our Constitution or our laws, then the law should take its course.”
