IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu Reacts To Reports Of ‘Attack’ On President Buhari

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), has reacted to the trending video of a man who allegedly attempted to attack President Muhammadu Buhari.

As earlier reported by Naija News, the incident happened on Thursday at the Argungu International Agricultural Show and Cultural Festival in Kebbi State.

The President posed for a picture session with the Kebbi State governor, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and other dignitaries, however, a man suddenly bombed into the session and headed straight for the President.

A quick intervention of the security operatives present who moved quickly and apprehended the man, however, saved the day, though the young man’s intention was not immediately clear.

In his reaction to the incident, Nnamdi Kanu, however, said the man in the video attempted to make a citizen arrest of Jubril Al-Sudani, a name he uses to address Nigeria’s President Buhari.

He wrote on Facebook, alongside a video of the happening, “The attempted citizen’s arrest of Jubril Al-Sudani is a welcome development.

“I am glad that some Hausa people are now waking up to the reality of Abba Kyari’s horror show that is Jubril Al-Sudani.

“I commend that young Hausa man in this video that tried to arrest the 45 year old criminal impostor from Sudan.

“Look at the video again and tell me the young looking boy being paraded by the evil cabal as the late Buhari is not Jubril Al-Sudani.

“At least, conscientious northerners can now see what we saw since 2017. Jubril’s days are numbered.”

It will, however, be noted that the presidency later clarified to the public that the man only wanted to shake hands with the president and not attack him.

This Mr. Femi Adesina, special adviser to President Buhari on media and publicity declared shortly after the video went viral on social media.
