Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, has said it is not the duty of the Federal Government to decide who stays or leave Nigeria.
Kanu made the assertion on Saturday via a tweet on his official Twitter handle.
According to him, the decision of whether the country would disintegrate or remain integrated should be determined by the people via a referendum.
The founder of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, said not even the military has such power.
“Dear Nigerian Govs
It’s not your business to decide whether the people of your State should remain Nigerians or not. It’s not even the business of @NGRPresident or the @HQNigerianArmy.
“Instead, it’s the business of the PEOPLE, freely expressed through a process called REFERENDUM”, the tweet reads.
Recall that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. -Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru recently said the military was ready to deal with all separatists disturbing the cooperate existence of Nigeria.

He vowed to ensure that those inciting disintegration such as the Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho who recently declared the Oduduwa Republic and his South South counterpart, ex-militant, Asari Dokubo are all dealt with.
Meanwhile, Anaedoonline.ng reported that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Saturday, denied threatening the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe.
Kanu said contrary to rumours, he never insulted the Obi of Onitsha. Following the Onitsha Ado Security outfit formation, Kanu was accused of insulting and threatening the monarch.
However, Kanu explained that he only advised the monarch not to allow himself and his newly formed security outfit to be used by Fulani Janjaweed in Abuja to fight the Eastern Security Network, ESN, and IPOB.
Kanu made the explanation in a statement signed by the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful.
The statement reads: “The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB has been drawn to the activities of mischief makers who are twisting the response of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the recent statement made by our revered Obi of Onitsha, HRM Igwe Alfred Achebe concerning the formation of Onitsha Ado Security outfit.
