The Federal Government has dismissed as unserious the formation of the Biafra Customary Government by Asari Dokubo, describing that as a “theatre of the absurd by a joker seeking attention’’.
Dokubo, leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, had announced himself; as the leader of the new Biafra Customary Government.
But Minister of Information, and Culture, Lai Mohammed, in a statement said President Muhammadu Buhari will not be distracted by the absurdity.
“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 fathom 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,’’ he said.
