Nobody can threaten Buhari, he governs Imo and is free to visit it – Imo Gov’t replies IPOB

The Imo State Government has dismissed the threat issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ahead of the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the state on Tuesday.

IPOB had declared a sit-at-home across the Southeast on Tuesday. This is coming ahead of the Appeal Court hearing of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and Buhari’s planned visit to the Southeast.

Reacting to this, Declan Emelumba, the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, said that IPOB couldn’t threaten Buhari. He said the president is free to visit the state as it is one of the states he governs

“Nobody can threaten Buhari. He’s president and commander in chief of the federal republic of Nigeria. Imo is one of the states he governs, and he is free to visit it. Security is in top gear, and I can assure you that his visit will be successful,” Emelumba said

Buhari is expected to inaugurate three signature projects built by governor Hope Uzodinma administration on Tuesday
