A group, Biafra Nations League (BNL), has commended Twitter for deleting the comment of President Mohammadu Buhari allegedly threatening genocide against Biafra agitators.
In a statement emailed to The Herald, National Leader of BNL, Princewill Chimezie Richard expressed anger over the President’s outburst, wondering how many times the president has threatened the north over bandit and Boko Haram activities.
BNL said that the youths of the former Eastern region did not witness the Nigerian Civil War but were prepared to fight another war if it breaks out.
“It is true we didn’t witness the war, but we have the mind to fight if another war breaks out.

“It wasn’t the wish of our fathers to fight; the war was forced on them by Yakubu Gowon, and so if Buhari wants to force us to fight another war we will fight,” the group’s leader said.
The BNL Leader “reminded the President that this is not 1967 when they succeeded in dividing the ethnic groups and sold seed of discord among the tribes in the East”.
He said BNL, being a multi-ethnic movement, would do everything possible to defend the unity of Biafra.
The group urged Twitter to delete the President account like it happened to Donald Trump.
