The presidency said that President Muhammadu Buhari has had nothing to do with the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group since he arrived Yokohama, Japan, on Monday, August 26.
Legit.ng reports that a statement by the special adviser on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, on the evening of Monday, August 26, urged Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to disregard the concocted stories backed with spurious visuals, of any protest or harassment of the president and his team by members of the proscribed group.
According to him, it is the handiwork of hate mongers, who are yet to realise that the rest of Nigerians have left them far behind.

He said: “It is the stock-in-trade of hate mongers, who do not realise 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.”
