President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Senior Special Adviser on Diaspora Matters, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has come under
fire over her reaction to the viral video of Senator Elisha Abbo’s assault on a
lady in Abuja.
The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, lawmaker, who is the youngest Senator in the ninth National Assembly, was
seen in a 10-minute video footage repeatedly slapping a woman, after she
pleaded with him not to physically assault the shop owner whom the senator had
accused of calling him a drunk.
Reacting to the incident, Dabiri-Erewa
tweeted, “To think that this PDP guy was said to have ‘defeated’ one of our
most respected female parliamentarians, Senator Binta Masi Garba. The Senate
must not protect him. He should be charged . The footage is enough evidence .
He deserves to be in Prison.”
This reaction angered some social
media users, who accused her of having shown no empathy for the woman who was
attacked and being insensitive.
@ChiomaChuka wrote, “Shame that
your response has NO empathy for the woman, just a slant across political
lines.
“There’s an entire season of
#Ganduje videos, not a peep from you. But, PDP, and you’ve found your voice!
“I loved you as a journalist, but
I hate what you’ve become as a politician. Sad.”
@exclusiveboobs, “This is who she
always was. Politics only brought out her real personality. Shame.”
@Nwaonyekuzi, “That is yet to
make any impact as a leader. She is busy playing politics at expense of quality
leadership.”
@Samuelbodunde, “It’s a very big
irony. So easy for them to be political, no human empathy.”
@ceetyna001, “Quite sad…
@abikedabiri is an example of the
kind of woman we don’t want/need in politics. She was definitely more useful to
everybody as a journalist.”
Oseuntadef, “That’s to show how
fake she is. This politician is her true colour.”
@Yusufwrites, “You have earned my
respect with this reply. Everything shouldn’t be about politics. Humanity comes
first. Shame on Abike.”
@Lewisih, “Very well put. In
matters that touch the core of our existence and humanity, it behoves on us to
fly above the fray of politics and speak without prejudice, moreso, when in the
public eye and likely seen as behavioral model. Political Abike’s one of great
disappointment.”
@BusolaDavid, “Thank you Chioma!
You’ve said all I’ve had In mind since she started misbehaving. I loved her as
a journalist too, this terrible side of hers is painful to see.”
@Ngozibekee, “I wish she can
understand that money doesn’t clean bad behavior.”
@classicdilla, “I guess this is
the real Abike Dabiri. The journalist was just a decoy.”
