The Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari is to visit southeast Nigeria, according to his spokesman Garba Shehu, who said in a statement said on Monday.
Mr President will be visiting two southeast states of Ebonyi and Anambra, Shehu said.
He added that Buhari would leave the capital, Abuja, on Tuesday morning and return the following day.
Buhari would, as part of his trip, visit the campaign run by his All Progressive Congress party (APC), in the state of Anambra ahead of gubernatorial elections, (on Nov 18th) he said.
Calls for secession have become increasingly loud in the last few months in parts of the southeast, where the president is deeply unpopular, prompting Buhari to say he will not allow Nigeria to be divided by separatist groups.
Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu the Supreme leader of the indigenous peoples of Biafran, who was on bail after being charged with treason, has not been seen since Sept. 14, when IPOB says his home was raided by soldiers.
"The military has denied raiding Kanu’s home and has said it is not holding him.
