He lamented the president\u2019s constant shuttles between Nigeria and London while ignoring the Southern part of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince he was sworn in for a second term, had General @MBuhari visited Southern Nigeria?<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to my knowledge. Correct me if I\u2019m wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe shuttles between London and Northern Nigeria. Why is Southern Nigeria a no go area for Buhari? Is this how to govern a nation?,\u201d Omokri tweeted.<\/p>\n

People of the Southeast had been accusing the Buhari-led government of marginalizing the region.<\/p>\n

Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had severally accused the current government of turning away from the region.<\/p>\n

The alleged marginalization had further inflamed the pursuit for the actualization of Biafra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
