BEVERLY HILLS, August 26, (THEWILL) – The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group has had nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari since he arrived Yokohama, Japan, on Monday.
This was declared by Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, as he urged Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora 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,” he said.
“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.”
THEWILL recalls that Buhari, on Monday, arrived Japan ahead of the 7th Tokyo International Conference on African Development.
He travelled along with Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Minister of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama and Nigerian Ambassador to Japan Amb. Mohammed Gana Yisa.
However, the leader of the proscribed IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, had instigated his members to harass, humiliate, attack and arrest Buhari in Japan.
