Politician Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK) has condemned the statement from President Buhari, stating that the suggestion that another 3 to 5 million Igbos may be subjected to genocide again is unacceptable. He said that Nigeria should be apologizing for what was done to Biafrans in the civil war and not threatening to do it again, saying, State-sponsored genocide, ethnic cleansing, religious cleansing and mass murder has no place in a civilised country. Only savages animals and barbarians indulge in such things. No matter how you feel about the Igbos you have no right to threaten to visit them with death and destruction. They are not animals and they are not slaves: they are human beings and like all the rest of us, red blood flows through their veins! FFK expressed gladness that Twitter had removed the president's tweet, saying, It has done more damage to the psyche and confidence of the Igbo than all the killings that have taken place over the last 5 years. It has also traumatised millions of non-Igbo Nigerians who believe that the same treatment may be visited on them. He described President Buhari's comment as insensitive, irresponsible and wicked, stating hope of him ever saying such again. Can you blame those that want to establish Biafra when the President of Nigeria can say such things and issue such threats? FFK questioned.
