REPS FLAY SARAKI'S STAND IN IPOB



Three members of the House of Representatives have said that Senate President Bukola Saraki’s position on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was bereft of reason, rationality and logic.
Saraki had on Monday said the categorization of IPOB as a terrorist group by the Nigerian Army was unconstitutional. He also described as illegal, the proscription of the group by the five Southeast governors because according to him, they had no powers to do so.
In a statement yesterday, the three members of the House namely; Aliyu Sani Madaki (APC, Kano), Mohammed Sani Zorro (APC, Jigawa) and Mohammed Musa Soba (APC, Kaduna), under the name, Progressives Caucus, said Saraki had shown that he lacked human compassion.
“We were shocked beyond belief when our attention was brought to the statement credited to the Senate President, Abubakar Saraki, in which he willy-nilly endorsed the murderous activities of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), based on arguments that are bereft of reason, rationality or logic. In fact, a clear pattern of overt support to the leader of the terrorist group had since been established under the watch of the senate president, for some time now.
“Only a self-hating leader devoid of human compassion could cover his eyes from the horror and bestiality being meted to Nigerians not indigenous to the so-called Biafra enclave over these past years, but will be excited at rushing to offer protection to Nigeria’s misguided groups, while thumbing down our nation’s defence forces that have continued to sacrifice their lives, so we may survive as a nation under God.
“Pray, is the senate president unaware of the more than 1,900 Internally Displaced Persons presently taking refuge at the Aba Central Mosque, the more than 800 IDPs now sheltering in the Aba central police station after the gruesome murder of its Divisional Police Officer and his men?
“At this juncture, it has become necessary to ask all conscionable representatives of the Nigerian people, civil society activities, labour and its social partners, to stand up and be counted, by discharging their civic responsibility of exposing what is undoubtedly another hot pursuit against the Roghinga’s of 21st century Nigeria,” they said.
