According to Daily Post, the group’s National Secretary, Yinka Odumakin said that all IPOB has done is call for a sit at home, while Boko Haram has been killing people and destroying properties in the North-East.
He said “While Boko Haram is a terrorist organization that goes about bombing people and places, IPOB is an open organization.
“What IPOB has done is to call for a sit-at-home but Boko Haram is a terrorist group, except you want IPOB to go underground like Boko Haram.

“It is a wrong approach. You cannot treat Boko Haram and an open organization like IPOB in the same manner.”
Meanwhile, the Movement of the Actualisation of a Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB) in its reaction, said that President Buhari is suffering from military mentality.
