“A working Nigeria with equity, justice, and fairness will also definitely and effectively checkmate such extreme groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP.”
Nigerians are not surprised by Obi's action
The exclusion of IPOB from the terror groups in Nigeria by Obi did not come as surprise to some critics and opposition who accused the former Anambra State governor of being a sympathiser to the secessionist group.
Meanwhile, the presidential hopeful had earlier stated that IPOB members are not terrorists, but some Nigerians did not take his submission lightly, and he defended his point.
“The only thing I disagree with is naming IPOB terrorists. They are not terrorists. Those who took the decision may have information that I don’t have,” Obi said in a report by Premium Times.
