The Senate yesterday fingered foreign involvement in the escalated state of insecurity, saying that whatNigeriawas going through at the moment was strange and not part ofNigeria’s history.
Addressing Journalists yesterday, Chairman Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe said: “The Senate also noted that there may be some foreign dimensions to this but the senate acknowledges that we must put our house in order and the senate is in full agreement that all hands must be on deck and that every Nigerian, no matter the level, has a duty to continue to preserve the unity and the structure of Nigeria as it is today.”
Speaking on the closed door meeting, Senator Abaribe said, “the Senate had a very frank discussion about the state of our security. You are all aware of what happened over the weekend and the fact that effort is being made to plunge this country into a religious war. But we know that such will not happen. The senate agreed that it was an effort to pitch Nigerians against one another and the Senate urges Nigerians not to fall for this odious attempt.
Speaking further, Abaribe said, “the senate is very worried about the state of the nation. If not, we would not have spent a whole day today in a closed session; the reason for the closed session is so that we can speak frankly, the reason for the closed session is that when they have camera on them, they will play to the gallery. So, we are so worried that we have to spend three to four hours in a closed door session just to get to what is going on and it was productive and the measures that came out with these, because they deal with security issues, we have to clear it with the appropriate authorities before it can be released to the public, but you can be rest assured that everything the senate is doing is for the interest of the country.”
