Politics Nigeria Needs More Goodwill To Deal With Boko Haram, Corruption, Biafra, Arewa - Akpabio

[siteadmin]

Senator Akpabio was not suggesting clones of himself when he suggested that it was time for all Nigerians of goodwill to pray for the nation and also put their hands on deck to move the nation to safe harbours.

Akpabio spoke at his constituency briefing in Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, where he organised a constituency briefing and empowerment programme for his constituents in Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District.

He called for the silencing of the drums of war from all Geo-zones of Nigeria and task the government on fighting corruption without favouring the cobras and black mamba in the inner circle.

Some of his words:

“If the Biafra agitation is not fixed; if the Arewa threat of the eviction of Igbos is not addressed; if Boko Haram and insurgency which despite the gallantry of our armed forces in crushing them, still perpetrate their evil of bombing and launching attacks at soft targets, are not totally diminished; if all the other flash points are allowed to fester; then the uneven heartbeat of the country could degenerate into a cardiac arrest,”

on corruption

“You cannot wage a war against snakes while keeping the king cobra and the black mamba as pets.

“Let us fight corruption with an incorruptible spirit and with sincerity, not persecution and we would win the fight.”

hmm.. let the goodwill games begin!
