President Buhari speaking during a visit to his home state Katsina lamented the fact that agitation for the break-up of Nigeria and the secession of Biafra had re-emerged.

However, the president promised to keep the unity of Nigeria and encouraged citizens to ignore groups looking to divide the country.

The members of the Indigenous People of Biafra in response declared that “our freedom is unstoppable”.
