Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Friday described President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s war threat as an \u201cempty\u201d one.<\/p>\n

Kanu pointed out that Nigerians are not with Buhari on his empty civil war threat.<\/p>\n

Buhari had on Tuesday threatened to war against those trying to cause insurrections across the country<\/p>\n

He issued the threat while condemning the attacks on police stations, correctional facilities and offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Condemning the violence in the Southeast, Buhari had said \u201cindividuals or groups who want to destroy his government will receive the shock of their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Those out to destroy my govt will be dealt with\u2019 \u2013 Buhari<\/p>\n

The president said they would be treated in a language they would understand.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Kanu, in a series of tweets wrote: \u201cYou might\u2019ve noticed that these empty THREATS of levying another war against #Biafra are coming exclusively from the Fulanized @NGRPresident and the extremist FULANI ruling class.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike 1967, they\u2019re alone on this; the rest of Nigeria is not with them. Again, #ThisIsNot1967<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those suffering from self induced amnesia or who may have conveniently forgotten how the #Fulani Caliphate put #Nigeria in the beautiful mess it\u2019s in today.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost pathetic of all, sponsorship of BH didn\u2019t stop late @MBuhari from being voted into power in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n
