Python Dance II: APC Chieftain Condemns Military Show Of Force In South East
Says Maltreatment of Biafra Agitators Can put the country on fire
… Describes Military Action As Pure Sycophancy To Justify To President That They Are Working
Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank has warned that the current maltreatment of Biafra agitators is capable of putting the country on fire if not checked.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to consider the political implications of unleashing military on an entire region which is capable of sabotaging the good intention of APC government and therefore portray the current administration as a military government.
The APC Deputy Publicity Secretary made the call on Thursday in a statement he personally signed and sent to Sundiata Post.
Frank stated this in reaction to video circulating on the social media where some youths and IPOB members were caught by the military and asked to forcefully swim in dirty water.
The APC Chieftain therefore charged Nigerians, especially leaders across board, irrespective of political differences, to speak out against what he described as inhuman treatment of Nigerians.
According to him, “Today it may be the Igbos but tomorrow it may be the Ijaws or Yorubas or any other region; by then there may be nobody to speak out. Adding that, “This incident is a total disgrace and embarrassment to the Nigerian government.”
He informed that, “The activities of handful numbers asking for Biafra does not represent what the whole region stands for, reminded that there are still large numbers of people who are not comfortable with such agitation, these people too are Nigerians like others. So the whole region should not suffer the perceived sin of the few.”
Frank urged the federal government to either replace the Army with Police or Directorate of State Services (DSS) so it can handle the situation in a civil manner, saying “the DSS or Police will never carry out such brutality on unarmed Nigerians because DSS has shown maturity in handling civil issue like this in time past.
The APC chieftain described the ongoing military action as pure sycophancy to justify to the President that they are working observed that the military did not act this manner when President Muhammadu Buhari was not around for some time.
Frank stressed that such overzealousness may be one of the reasons the United State Government refused to sell arms to Nigeria Army because of human right abuse and violation.
He advised that this has to stop because military solution has never been the best in handling such in a democratic system like ours anywhere in the world.
