The remaining $1bn should bepaid by the Buhari Government to the families and the churches of over 2800dead Christians who are victims of the Nomad Fulani Jihadists in Nigeria sinceJune 2015.The group said Buhari as thegrand patron of "the Miyatta Allah Breeders Association of Nigeria had allowed personal sentiments to becloud his official position as the father of the country and protector of every citizen irrespective of his or her ethnoreligious and age background or identity".In other news, IPOB has vowed to ensure that Governor Willie Obiano ofAnambra state does not return to government house after the November 2017 poll.The group, reacting to statement credited to Obiano that IPOB is a toothless bulldogwhich is capable of words but incapable of action and being used by a few to enrich themselves under the guise of fighting for Igbo freedom, saidthe governor has crossed the red line and the consequences wouldbedire for his second term ambition.
