President Buhari Wants Foreign Nations to Ban IPOB.

President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the nation’s western allies to proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB as a terrorist organization.

Buhari who made the remarks in an interview with Bloomberg while responding to a question about his administration’s record on fighting insecurity and corruption said the country is safer than he met in 2015 and proscribing IPOB, a group seeking secession of parts of Southern Nigeria, will improve the situation.

He said their leadership enjoys protection in the West, broadcasting hate speech into Nigeria from London, spending millions lobbying members of the United State Congress, and freely using international financial networks to arm agitators on the ground.

The President also defended the federal government’s decision to keep paying fuel subsidies, arguing that the effects of removing it would have been too harsh on Nigerians.
