Lauretta Onochie, aide to the presidency on social media, has accused the senator representing Abia South constituency, Enyinnaya Abaribe of colluding with the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to divide Nigeria.
She said that Abaribe and Kanu tried to rip Nigeria apart but failed.
Stating that security issues are sad concerns around the world but instigating Nigerians to pick stones and chase Buhari out of office is a call for anarchy.
It will be recalled that Abaribe, had yesterday on the floor of the hallowed chamber, called on Buhari to resign, noting that he has exhausted his plans to secure Nigerians.
In his words, “We did not vote the IG of police, we did not vote the Chief of Staff, or other security chiefs, we voted the government of APC in 2015 and re-elected them in 2019 because they told us they have the key to security.
“Today, the APC government has failed because people are being killed anyhow. If you want to deal with a matter, you first go to the head. “We can go to the APC government and ask this government to resign. “And we want to tell the government that if it does not resign, we shall have no option than to go with stones to pursue it.”
In view of the above statement, the media aide to the presidency, took to her tweeter handle to reply, saying: “Security issues are sad concerns around the world including Nigeria. Buffoon Enyinnaya Abaribe, telling Nigerians to “pick stones to stone THEM”, is out of order! It’s a call for anarchy.
To those who listen to him, Nigeria is not Sen Ike Ekwerenmadu. Dont even try it. Don’t! Abaribe has tried with Nnamdi Kanu, to rip this nation apart and failed. When Atiku said there will be more herdsmen killing if Buhari was reelected, who said anything? How many stones did Abaribe throw? Please throw the first stone. We are waiting.” Agreeing with Onochie, Presidency said, Abaribe ought to have replaced Nnamdi Kanu in Correctional Service for making such statement. A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said that the call did not represent the opinion of the country.
The statement reads, “Senator Abaribe’s call on President Buhari to resign is foolish.,” said the President was working hard to put the country out of harm. It read, “President Buhari to resign on what basis?
