Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina state has called on all Nigerians to rally round the Muhammadu Buhari government to quickly put a stop to the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which he likened to Boko Haram.
Governor Masari, who spoke to news men today, Friday, shortly after observing Friday (Jum’at) Prayer along with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa Mosque in Abuja, said: “when we heard the problem of Boko Haram in this country when it started, we all looked the other way and it nearly consumed the nation.
“So, under this circumstance, any agitation that is likely to lead the nation to the kind of problem we have to support the government to quickly stop it.”
He said that his government in Katsina state has put in necessary measures to ensure that the people living in the state, irrespective of where they come from, go about their businesses in safety, with their lives and properties protected.
“On the general note on what is going on in the country, I think there is need for Nigerians to be very responsible in terms of dealing with issue of this kind in this country.”
