Senate minority leader Enyinnaya Abaribe has raised eyebrows after appearing in public with a T-shirt inscribed with “The Dot Nation”.
Igbere TV could not immediately verify when the Abia South senator wore the shirt. However, reports say he wore it to his office in the National Assembly.
‘Dot nation’ became popular in the south-east following President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent interview with Arise TV, where he described those from the region agitating for secession as “a dot in a circle” who would not have anywhere to run to should they secede from Nigeria.
Although, many say he was referring to the indigenous People of Biafra, others say he was talking about the entire Igbo people.
Abaribe’s shirt has sparked widespread reactions, especially on social media.
