President Muhammadu Buhari has described the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB as “a dot in a circle,” saying if the group decides to seceed, they can’t have access to anywhere.
The president said this in an interview with Arise TV broadcast on Thursday.
The president said he has been assured by “the elderly people” and “the youths” from the south-south part of the country that region has no intention of seceding.

“I was encouraged by what I heard, nobody told me. Two statements from the south south: one by the elderly people, they said this time around there would be no (secession). And again the youth made the same statement; such encouragement,” Buhari said.
“So that IPOB is just like a dot in a circle. Even if they want to exit, they’ll have no access to anywhere. And the way they are spread all over the country, having businesses and properties. I don’t think IPOB knows what they are talking about.”
“In any case, we say we’ll talk to them in the language that they understand. We’ll organise the police and the military to pursue them.”
