Human right lawyer Obono Obla and APC chieftain has blasted Senator Florence Ita Giwa who recently criticized President Muhammadu Buhari of bias in handling problems concerning the North-eastern region and Bakassi.
The statement made available to journalists yesterday read in part: “I was pleasantly surprised as well as amazed when I read a statement credited to Senator Florence Ita Giwa alleging and accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of bias in his handling of the problems concerning the North-eastern region and Bakassi!
“In the first place there cannot be any comparison between the travails of the peoples of North-east and Bakassi. The two issues are different and therefore any objective commentator must separate them and put or situate them in the proper perspective.”
Obono-Obla said contrary to the allegation raised by Ita-Giwa against Buhari on the Bakassi issue, the president had taken some measures concerning the well-being of the people.
“Contrary to the position of Senator Giwa, the federal government under President
Buhari has undertaken diplomatic measures to resolve the issue of Bakassi peninsula? Why is Senator Giwa hypocritical crying wolf?,” Obono-Obla stated.
