Activists Slam Tinubu for Reckless Comparison of IPOB and Boko Haram

Activists criticized President Bola Tinubu for comparing IPOB to Boko Haram in a recent broadcast, calling it reckless and prejudicial. The joint statement released by advocacy groups condemned Tinubu's comments as potentially influencing the pending legal case challenging IPOB's terrorist designation.

The activists emphasized the need to avoid prejudicing ongoing legal proceedings involving IPOB and urged for a fair and unbiased approach. Tinubu's remarks were deemed inflammatory and harmful to the legal process surrounding IPOB's status.
