The Call For Biafra is a Nonsensical Demand- Senior Special Assistant to The President

Responding to the demand for a referendum on Biafra, the Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, in an interview with Sun Newspaper insisted that Biafra is a constitutional impossibility. Speaking on behalf of the presidency he described the call as a waste of time and also stated that even restructuring would not solve the myriad of problems confronting the nation.

He stated that;

“The demand for a referendum with regards to Biafra is a constitutional impossibility. It is a legal and political impossibility. There is no provision in the constitution of the country or any other law that provides for a part of the country to break away. It is a nonsensical demand. Biafra ended on the January 15, 1970. I think the agitators are just expressing their rights to freedom of expression,”

When reminded that even though it was unconstitutional, the issue of referendum has become an international legal instrument for self-determination.
His reply was;

“The international law does not take precedence over the Nigerian constitution. If you want to ratify any treaty or international convention, the National Assembly has to approve it. You cannot begin to use the international law to deal with municipal, local and national issues. Let them stop wasting their time. There is nothing like that. The agitators are just wasting their time and that is why I am saying that they are just expressing their right to the freedom of expression.”

Politics Fayose dubs Osinbajo a liar, threatens to release 11 pictures on Buhari’s true state

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has branded Acting President Yemi Osinbajo a liar for claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari is recovering very fast and had engaged in a lengthy substantive discussion with him. He has therefore called on Osinbajo to reveal the true state of ailing President Muhammadu Buhari to Nigerians or he may be forced to publish about 11 pictures showing the current state of the president’s health. Osinbajo, who traveled to London on Tuesday where he said he visited Buhari and had over an hour meeting with him, had told Nigerians that the ailing President was in “high spirits” and was “recuperating very quickly.” However, Governor Fayose who had earlier claimed that Buhari had been on life support since June 6, speaking with newsmen in Abuja on the matter, accused Osinbajo of lying to Nigerians and threatened that “if care is not taking, I will release pictures and this will create serious problems for the country.” He said, “The offices of the g...
