FG reacts to former militant leader, Asari Dokubo’s declaration of new Biafran government

The federal government has reacted to former militant leader, Asari Dokubo’s declaration of a new Biafran Government, tagging himself the leader.

Asari Dokubo had in a statement released by his new government’s Head of Information and Communications Uche Mefor, named those who would serve as leaders of the newly formed Biafra Customary Government.

Reacting to this, Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Monday March 15 in a statement, tagged Asari Dokubo as a joker, an attention seeker and an entertainer, adding that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration will not be distracted by absurdities as they have a lot to do.

He said;

“I am sure you have heard of the theatre of the absurd, that is the best way I can describe it. 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.”
