Ahead of the 2019 presidential election, Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East has warned politicians against shedding blood of Nigerians.
Bruce on Tuesday urged the military and other security agencies to protect Nigerians and prosecute offenders rather than shed blood.
The Bayelsa lawmaker, on his Twitter page, said this in reference to statement by President Muhammadu Buhari ordering the military to ‘kill’ any ballot box snatcher.
According to him, the Armed forces must realize that “they are protectors of Nigerians.”
Bruce wrote: “Nobody’s political ambition is worth the blood of any citizen. Nobody at all. We must direct the armed forces to realize that they are the protectors of the Nigerian people.
“Under no circumstances must they kill, maim, or injure the Nigerian people. Prosecute instead of killing.”
