In a recent social media post, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, highlighted a controversial statement made by Peter Obi, the former Governor of Anambra State, during a 2025 appearance on “Sunday Politics”. During the interview, Obi made an assertion that has since sparked widespread debate, claiming that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are not terrorists.
