The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned former President Bola Tinubu’s ex-media assistant Femi Adesina for revealing that his principal foiled an attempt to assassinate pro-Biafra militant Nnamdi Kanu.
According to IPOB, Buhari recognised the ramifications of removing Kanu, which led to his decision to arrest him.
According to Adesina’s book, “Working with Buhari: reflections of a special adviser, media, and publicity (2015-2023),” the former president resisted recommendations to assassinate Kanu in his hiding and instead urged that he be apprehended.
In response, IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful slammed Adesina’s book as “toilet paper” that no reasonable person would want to buy.
Emma Powerful’s statement says, in part:
“The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable leader, Nnamdi Kanu, calls a bluff the claim from Femi Adesina that Muhammed Buhari did Mazi Nnamdi Kanu a favour by arresting him as opposed to their assassination plans.
“The murderous government of Buhari understood the consequences of eliminating Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Femi Adesina wrote a book thinking that the mention of Nnamdi Kanu will sell his book and that revealing their secret plans against Nnamdi Kanu, Ndigbo, IPOB, and the Biafra struggle will be to his advantage. The book has turned into toilet paper. No sane person will spend their money or time to buy that book or read it.
“Kanu is bigger than him and his masters. Without tangible development in Nigeria after eight years of governance, they are unarguably the most hated administration in all of Nigeria’s miserable existence. We are very happy that Adesina and his principal, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, retired, planned and failed in eliminating Kanu because they tried it during the time they attacked his father’s compound that led to his mother’s and father’s deaths.
“Adesina thought that if he mentioned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his book, Nigerians would praise him.
“In his infamous book written as the aide of the former President of Nigeria, Late Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesena disclosed that the murderous government of his late boss planned to assassinate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, but his boss did Mazi Nnamdi KANU a favour by only just arresting him.
“It’s revealing that the former aide to the former President, Femi Adesina, has exposed the devilish agenda of his principal in his book. We know that they have tried so many ways to eliminate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu without success.”
