The Senator representing Abia
South, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has denied that he was questioned by the Senate over
his involvement with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader,
Nnamdi Kanu.
Abaribe also alleged that some
persons are attempting to create conflicts, between South-Eastern legislators
and their Northern counterparts.
He stated this while speaking on
the floor of the Senate on Wednesday.
“This morning Mr President, I was
surprised to find ‘IPOB: senators query Abaribe over Kanu’s bail’. Mr President
we have always said in this floor that anything the presiding officer says in
the closed-door session that is the sum total of our discussion,” Abaribe said.
“And I remember yesterday that
three points were made as a result of our discussion, which was Nigeria’s unity
and effort by this senate to make sure we help in bringing peace to this
country. The headline that purports to say that this is what happened in our
closed-door session which of course did not happen does not in any way advance
the course of peace in this country.
“My constituents have been
worried, they have called me and they have been asking me and I have told them
that it is not true and I will bring it up on the floor and ask the entire
senate to please help us to ask the newspaper to produce whoever gave them this
information.
“The senate does not query any of
its members, that is the first place where they failed in casting this headline
because each senator knows what we discussed and what came out at the end of
it.
“I wish to be given the
opportunity to lay this newspaper and ask this senate to please look at the
attempt at driving a wedge between the south-east senators and the northern
senators, because it was said here that the northern senators made a demand for
which the south-east senators reluctantly agreed.
“Some people are bent on making
sure that there is no peace but I know that God will not allow them.”
Abaribe was one of the sureties
who secured the bail granted IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
