The MASSOB leader also criticised the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for ''lacking the capacity to govern''.
In the interview, Uwazuruike said, ''Nnamdi is fighting against Biafra. The security agencies have seen Nnamdi as somebody with a high value that they can use. They heard him shouting on radio and they approached him and he accepted to work with them.
''No election in Anambra state is aimed at favouring the All Progressives Congress (APC) to edge out Governor Obiano through destabilisation; that’s the only thing and it’s being arranged by the security agencies, using Kanu.
''I know the mansions that Nnamdi Kanu and people like him have abroad let Kanu keep disgracing himself like he’s doing now, because I know he’s being funded and I know those funding him.

''The MASSOB leader also criticised the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for ''lacking the capacity to govern''.
He accused Attahiru Jega, former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), of “rigging former President Goodluck Jonathan out of office”.
He said: ''If Jonathan had remained the president of Nigeria till today, the US dollar would not have exchanged for more than N50. Nigeria will still beg Jonathan to come back''.
The editor-in-chief of The Interview, Azu Ishiekwene, described the current edition as “a rare insight into the complex and troubling identity politics confronting the country.”
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com reported that the Igbo Gospel Ministers Restoration Association (IGMRA), has urged President Buhari to stop the move to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu.
This was contained in a statement on Sunday, September 3, by IGMRA President, Apostle O. C. Daniels and Secretary General, Rev. Uyor Jonah.
