  Former Presidential aide, Doyin Okupe, has called on the Federal government to release IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.   Okupe who was the former Senior Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, said Kanu should be released if that would restore peace in the South-East geopolitical zone. According to him, the freedom or life of the IPOB leader is more important than the November 6 governorship in the state, which he observed risked flawed in the face of a militarised electoral process.   “The Anambra State election is no doubt a security nightmare and a major cause for concern for many Nigerians. Whether we like it or not, the IPOB has become an established “Army of Resistance” for self-determination in the South-East.
