The Presidency has stated that it has no worry over the outburst of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu, who was recently sited in Israel had on Monday threatened to return to Nigeria and disrupt the 2019 elections in the southeast.
A statement by the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu on Tuesday assured Nigerians that the threat of Kanu brings no worry to the nation.
It 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.”
