The Chairman of the South-East
Senate caucus, Enyinnaya Abaribe has lambasted the Federal Government over its
decision to proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the
leadership of Nnamdi Kanu.
Abaribe, who signed Kanu’s bail
bond, likened the decision of the Federal Government to killing a fly with a
sledgehammer.
Speaking in Aba, Abia State,
Abaribe said, “The South-East Senate Caucus disagrees with the Nigerian
government in saying that IPOB is a terrorist organisation.
“We feel it is too strong a
gambit to use. We feel that you cannot kill a fly with a sledge-hammer.
“You cannot proscribe a group of
people; you cannot leave glaring evidence of those who actually work against
the unity of this country, those who are actually killing people, those who are
actually taking up arms against this country and then you turn around and say
that these people have a potential to do so, therefore you now go ahead to
declare them a terrorist organization with the implications for this country
that are very glaring.”

Let it be known that IPOB wasn't intended, and will never be intended to be a terrorist group.
