Recall that NAIJ.com earlier reported that Kanu received the President of International Nations Commercial Association in Turkey Abdulkadir Erkahraman in his hometown in Isiama Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia state.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari's personal assistant on social media Lauretta Onochie has refused to identify Nnamdi Kanu as a leader of Igbo.
In a tweet on Saturday, June 17, Onochie said Kanu was not invited to Aso Rock by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo when he met with Southeast leaders because the one-time Director of Radio Biafra was not considered one of them.
Onochie was reacting to a tweet by a follower who claimed that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was angry that he was not invited to Aso Rock.
She however mocked Kanu, saying he is probably more of a creator of a new religion in the southeast than a leader.
