SAN FRANCISCO, October 23, (THEWILL) – Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of power has responded to a threat made by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of disbanded group IPOB, describing his broadcast as “hollow” and a “mere distraction.”
The full text of the statement by President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu reads:
“The Presidency wishes to restate that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari is strong enough to defend its territory against any threat, assuring all Nigerians that there is no reason to worry about the hollow outburst by Nnamdi Kanu, the disputed leader of IPOB on returning to the country “with hell’’.
Instead, we see the re-enactment of his bizarre, episodic threat as a mere distraction which will not be allowed to detract from the existing cordial relationships between Nigeria and other countries.
The Buhari administration is in constant touch with other friendly nations and has the best assurances that they would continue to reciprocate the respect Nigeria has for the sovereignty of their nations.
Nigerians have nothing to fear from this.”
