Professor Banji Akintoye, leader of the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS), coordinating daily protests at the UN in New York has sent an ominous message to President Buhari.
Buhari is billed to address the United Nations General Assembly on 24 September and Akintoye has told him to expect the demonstrators demanding referendum on self determination.
“We shall resume the March on 24th September, Opposite the United Nations Headquarters to tell President Muhammad Buhari to his face that his Miyyetii Allah people are the enemy number one of the people of South and Middle-Belt of Nigeria, and they are the authentic Terrorists”, he said.
Akintoye who is also the leader of the Ilana Omo Yoruba, denied that his group was collaborating with the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) in staging protests in New York.
On the contrary, he said the protest is a collaboration of the Members of Ilana Omo Oodua representing the Yoruba Land, Lower Niger Congress representing the South South and South East and Middle-Belt Rennaissance Movement representing the Middle Belt Region.
He then advised the Buhari government to address all issues raised by the protesters, rather than resorting to blackmail and peddling of fallacies’’
“We say to the Presidency that the unintelligent attempt to cause frictions and divisions between the Yoruba people in the West and the Igbo people in the East is dead on arrival. We shall continue to collaborate, peacefully, for the salvation of our people.’’
