Adesina ‘Can’t Confirm Or Deny’ Whether Buhari Endorsed IPOB Ban(CONFUSION IN ASO ROCK)

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, says he is unaware of whether President Muhammadu Buhari okayed the declaration of the Indigenous People of Biafra as a terrorist organisation.

 Mr Adesina said this in response to questions he was asked during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday. Secessionist group IPOB had been declared a terrorist group by the Nigerian military on Friday. Hours later, governors of the South-East proscribed the activities of the group.

 The development which came amid increased tension in the South East and in some parts of the North has generated a debate. While some have defended the decision of the governors and the declaration by the military some others have criticised.

 Among the critics are Senate President Bukola Saraki who declared the declaration and ban unconstitutional in a statement on Monday.

 As the debate raged questions emerged about the role of President Buhari in the decision by the military with some reports suggesting he endorsed it.

 “I read the report also online today, but it is not something I have discussed with him. So, I can’t confirm or deny whether that actually came up before he left the country,” Adesina who appeared on the programme via Skype said
