NAIJ.com gathers that the statement was released in response to the speech delivered by the President upon his return from the United Kingdom, in which he harped on the unity of the nation.
Madu disagreed with the President’s remarks, stating: “We the people of Biafra can never be deceived by a man fully blooded with religious, ethnic sentimental and hatred against the people of Biafra.
“Buhari in his inner sense of reasoning believes that with his kinsmen occupying the military positions of service chiefs, including all the most senior military offices/positions, he will easily crush Biafra.
“Maybe with his intimidating tendencies over Igbo governors, National Assembly members, religious/opinion/ political leaders, he still thinks he can crush Biafra.”
