Stop rubbishing the Buhari-led APC government – Senate spokesperson warns Malami

Spokesman of the senate, Ajibola Basiru has asked the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami to cease from using his utterances to rubbish the Buhari-led APC government.

Basiru said this reacting to Malami’s comment comparing the ban on open grazing by Southern Governors to prohibition of spare parts trading in the North.

Basiru stated that such statements have made Nigeria a laughing stock in the comity of Nations and also not giving hope to those at the receiving end of the activities of the herdsmen.

He said;

“Anyone who cannot rise above primordial sentiments and pursue a parochial ethnic agenda need not occupy a position of trust especially at this time of sectional agitations.

“It was not dignifying of the status of the nation’s attorney-general and minister of justice to make such remarks. Those who have no meaningful contributions to national discourse operating on the basis of equity and justice to keep quiet and stop rubbishing the Buhari-led APC government.

“These kind of statements have made Nigeria a laughing stock in the comity of Nations and they ridicule the administration of President Buhari. These statements are not giving hope to those at the receiving end of the activities of the herdsmen.”
