Buhari in his address to the nation, following his return from London, where he spent over 100-days had harped on the unity of Nigeria.
However, Madu, in a statement said: ''We the people of Biafra can never be deceived by a man fully blooded with religious, ethnic sentimental and hatred against the people of Biafra.
''Buhari in his inner sense of reasoning believes that with his kinsmen occupying the military positions of service chiefs, including all the most senior military offices/positions, he will easily crush Biafra.
''Maybe with his intimidating tendencies over Igbo governors, National Assembly members, religious/opinion/ political leaders, he still thinks he can crush Biafra''.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that Honorable Abdulmumin Jibrin, the suspended member of Nigeria’s lower legislative chambers, also reacted to the speech delivered by President Buhari, today, August 21.
