Presidency Finally Speaks On IPOB Declaring Buhari Missing In Japan
The Presidency yesterday noted that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has “nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari since he arrived Yokohama, Japan on Monday.”
Recall that Buhari left Nigeria Sunday, for Japan to participate in the Seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD7) holding in the City of Yokohama, August 28-30, 2019.
However, IPOB alleged that the President was not in Japan, stressing that photographs of Buhari were photoshopped.
Responding to the allegation, Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, urged Nigerians to disregard the claims by IPOB.
In a statement forwarded to newsmen, Adesina 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.”

Who is fooling who, Mr Femi Adesina? Nnamdi Kanu publication seems to be correct. Where is Ortom appearing from if he did not form part of the entourage from Aso Rock?
Presidency should stop deceiving Nigerians. Enough is enough! Our 2015 Buhari cannot be coward like this, if truly he is the real person, then something is wrong somewhere.
