It its response, the Presidency in a statement by Garba Shehu, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, described Abaribe’s call as foolish and that he had no right to make such demand.

Abaribe is said to have in his response told the President that “The Igbo man doesn’t kneel for anybody except his Chi (God)”

His reply was confirmed by Fani-Kayode in a tweet he posted on his Twitter handle-@realFFK on Thursday.
