Special Adviser to the President on Prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, has described as inconsequential
the recognition accorded the Indigenous People of Biafra by some foreign nations as a non-terrorist group,
despite Nigeria’s recent proscription and designation of the group as a terrorist organisation. The Ekiti State
Governor, Ayodele Fayose, says he is not a promoter of the Indigenous People of Biafra. He, however, said the
government must address agitations through dialogue and not military might. Fayose said this in a series of
tweets on his official Twitter handle on Sunday. Fayose said Nigeria must be restructured in order to promote
fairness and equity. Fayose further advised the All Progressives Congress to include members of the opposition in
the Governor Nasir el-Rufai restructuring committee. He added that what this government needs to do is to
restructure and this matter should not be handled by the APC. It should not be a party affair. Using brute force is
not democratic. Running a democracy should not be by propaganda. Democracy is not autocracy.
