No IPOB protest against Buhari in Japan-Presidency

By Lawrence Olaoye
Special Adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, has said there was no protest against his principal, Muhammadu Buhari, on his arrival in Japan as reported.
Adesina, in a statement made available to newsmen Monday stated “The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group has had nothing to do with President Muhammadu Buhari since he arrived Yokohama, Japan, on Monday.
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.”
