Third Republic Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute, has
alleged that some serving Northern governors are festering insecurity in the
region and across the country.
Ebute lamented that these governors and supposed leaders act
as patriots during the day but are bandits and terrorists at night.
The former Senate President made the allegation in his
Christmas message titled ‘The gathering storm must not consume us’.
According to Ebute, the Christmas provides an opportunity
for everyone not only to demonstrate love towards their families but to other
fellow citizens irrespective of religion or ethnic affiliations.
While calling for caution, Senator Ebute urged stakeholders
to make peace building a reality in 2022 and not engage in acts that are
capable of destroying the nation.
According to Ebute: “Quite honestly, Nigerians, I am
worried! And every patriotic Nigerian should also be nervous at the sustained
insecurities in parts of the country which further threatens the prosperity and
future of Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has uncompromisingly done
so much to secure the lives and property of Nigerians since the inception of
his administration in 2015.
“My heart is weighed in sorrows! That I look behind the
scenes and discover that even some serving Northern Governors are the forces
backing festering insecurities in the region. What do we intend to gain from
this ferocious wickedness of bloodletting of compatriots? Why are some
Governors acting scripts of patriots during the day, but wear the dangerous
mask of bandits at nights? If our leaders turn to betray us in bloodshed, we
should be worried as a nation.
“I have stopped buying national daily newspapers or watching
TV stations for news. And the reason is that once you submit to these home media,
80% of the news contents are about violence and killings in Nigeria. Even
Somalia, Sudan, Syria and even Middle East countries are not so afflicted.
Recent media reports have raised a lot of dusts on plots by some Northern
Governors to destabilize the country.
“Initially, it sounded like a joke or journalists flair for
news scooping, until I bent down to decode what is happening to us in dark
places. My phobia was sealed with intelligence reports fingering some Northern
Governors as planning to destabilize the country, with the weapons of
terrorists, bandits and herdsmen mercenary killers for the sake of national
power.
“It is the vested political interests of these partisan
actors to discredit President Buhari that has further escalated insecurities around
parts of the Northeast, notably Adamawa and Bauchi states which have become the
new havens of Boko Haram and ISWAP terrorists. I know, these political
saboteurs’ have vowed that Buhari would not earn any credit on security in
Nigeria. So, the fire is pushed beyond reasonable limits, far outstretching the
Nigerian Military.”
