Monday Ubani, former Second Vice- President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday said Japan cannot stop members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from demonstrating against President Muhammadu Buhari because the constitution of Japan protects freedom of speech and expression.

He said protests against leaders who are attending foreign meetings and summits is a normal practice all over the world.

IPOB are not demonstrating against Buhari as UBA Ubani claims, they are in Japan to arrest Buhari (sorry Jubril El Sudani ) and forcefully obtain his DNA.
Now, how will Barrister Ubani call that a normal practice.

While urging President Buhari to address the grievances of the IPOB members, Ubani said while the President may not do that in Japan where he is currently participating in the 7th Tokyo International Conference, he can do that immediately he returns to Nigeria so that IPOB members who felt they have been treated badly can have a sense of belonging in the country.

“When people have agitations, it could be a group or certain persons against their leaders, they usually manifest such grievances by protests and sometimes they can even follow their leaders to wherever they go in the world to express their grievance. We saw it whenever all these international leaders gather for any event, those who are protesting on climate change always come to the venue to protest and express their grievances”.

What are the grievances that IPOB want Buhari to address? That he should submit his DNA to kanu to proof he is not dead?
or he should order a referendum, which is beyond his constitutional powers as president? It is only the national assembly that can include referendum in our constitution.

Or that he should abdicate his office as president because of hatred by Igbos for his sins during the civil war?

What exactly are ipob grievances?

“I think IPOB members are saying there are certain things that the President has done back home against IPOB members and they are there in Japan to express those grievances. I have never seen leaders trying to engage those protesters on the international fora to discuss issues”.

What has the president done to IPOB that was not done to other groups challenging the authority of the president ? Kanu and his group were becoming lawless and causing all sort of nuisance. They were issuing threats to security men, hausas, Yorubas, and even promised to bring the presidents head on a plate. The were forming, Biafran Secret Service within a sovereign Nigeria. No government in the world will tolerate these nonsense.

IPOB main goal is just to cause anarchy and chaos in nigeria, just because they hate the current president.
