The federal government of Nigeria has described the reported Biafra Customary Government formation by former millitant Asari Dokubo as an “entertainment”.
Dokubo, had on Sunday declared the formation of the purported government.
Speaking on the development in Lagos on Monday, minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will not be distracted by Dokubo, as government has a lot to do.
“I am sure you have heard of the theatre of the absurd; that is the best way I can describe it,” Mohammed said.
“If Asari Dokubo wants to form and run a phantom government, I think he is free to do so. This administration will not be distracted because we still have a lot to do.
“We are not ready to give any attention or time to a joker like Dokubo who is just looking for attention. We will just take it as one of these entertainment things.
“The beauty about Nigeria is that it is never a dull country; you must have one thing or the other to entertain you.”
