IPOB has nothing to do with President Buhari in Japan

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group has had nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari since he arrived Yokohama, Japan, on Monday.

These were the words of Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, which were contained in a statement he sent to The DEFENDER on Monday.

Terrorist IPOB, by continuous lawlessness this time at international level by its bail jumping leader Nnamdi Kanu, has in recent time engaged in making unguarded utterances warning Nigerians politicians including “President Buhari” to stay back home from the Japan conference or that it would “arrest” him.

But Mr. Adesina said such outlawed group could only still be living in the past as Nigerians, he said, had long left them behind.

He said, “Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora are urged to disregard concocted stories, backed with spurious visuals, of any protest or harassment of the President and his team. It is the stock-in-trade of hate mongers, who do not realize that the rest of Nigerians have left them far behind.

“President Buhari will make his presence at the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) count for Nigeria, and no scare-mongering or sabre-rattling will detract from the outing,” he said.

However, some Nigerian respondents are questioning United Kingdom over its allowing Nnamdi Kanu, a bail jumper and leader of terrorist group proscribed by competent court of a sovereign nation like Nigeria, to use its territory to commit his treason against the country.

One of the however assured that government “that I know will do something about these rogues who do not at any time believe in Nigeria and are now turning themselves ymto nuissance internationally thinging they are tanishing the image of Nigeria but are in truth destroying themselves the more”.

He however called on government to revisit Senator Abaribe’s case, a Minority Leader in Senate of a country that he freed Kanu to assault.
