The proscribed Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) group has had nothing to do with President @MBuhari
since he arrived Yokohama, Japan, on Monday.
Nigerians at home & in the Diaspora
are urged to disregard concocted stories, backed with spurious visuals,
of any protest or harassment of the President & 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 7th Tokyo Int’l Conference on African Development (TICAD7) count
for Nigeria, and no scare-mongering or sabre-rattling will detract from
the outing.

Recall that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, said he has ordered IPOB members in Japan to mobilise and ensure they arrest President Buhari in Japan, following his threat to attack South-East governors abroad.
