The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has joined many Nigerians to pray for the quick recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group said the IPOB and its leadership worldwide said it is unfortunate that President Buhari failed to resume work on Monday, February 6, as expected.
The IPOB's spokesperson Powerful Emma said: "Biafra will be a transparent honest society not like Nigeria. Our prayer is that Muhammadu Buhari should be well enough to face his crimes at the ICC because that is where he will end up with Gowon and Obasanjo."

Emma said, the IPOB expects the president to quickly come back to Nigeria and continue running the affairs of the country.
"This is one thing the world still don't know about us, that all those responsible for the cold blooded massacre of Biafrans and their illegal unconstitutional detention will be tried in a proper court of law in the Hague. We are relentless in our pursuit until justice is served," Emma said.
"However, we expected him to come back by now and start where he stopped in taking the country to another level. We are not wishing him dead because we don't create life.
More so, it is high time the presidency will come out openly and tell Nigerians what actually happened to their president since he went out of the country," he said.
On January 19, President Buhari wrote a letter to the Senate requesting for a 10-day vacation.

The spokesperson for the president Femi Adesina also said that the president will use the opportunity to attend to some of his medical needs.
While the president was expected back to the country on Sunday, February 5, in order to resume work today, February 6.
The Senate again received another letter seeking for an indefinite extension of his vacation.
However, since the announcement of the new letter, Nigerians have had mixed feelings about the president's health status with many scared of a repeat of the late president Umar Musa Yaradua episode.
