Senator representing Lagos West, Solomon Adeola has warned the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu to stop playing partisan politics with the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in recent times.
Adeola, who was reacting to Ekweremadu’s assertion that insurgency has worsen under President Mohamed Buhari’s government, said the Deputy Senate President intervention was from a partisan mindset.
“It is very worrisome that Senator Ekweremadu who has been a presiding officer of the Senate under the PDP administration since the inception of Boko Haram about six years ago will expect the insurgency that his party and PDP administration could not resolved to be eradicated by Buhari in six weeks.
“I believe his comparison of recent attacks under Buhari with that of outgone PDP administration is informed by partisan considerations of exonerating the PDP from the mess left behind by 16 years of PDP rule” Senator Adeola said.
The senator said that it is regrettable that Senator Ekweremadu could come to the conclusion that Boko Haram insurgency has worsen in the last few weeks in comparison to thousands of civilians and military lives lost, destruction of communities as well as the national agony and ordeal of the yet to be resolved missing Chibok girls under the PDP administration.
According to him, what should be paramount on the minds of all Nigerians now is how to end the insurgency permanently.
Senator Adeola said he is sure that President Buhari and the security agencies are working out strategies to curtail the focus of Boko Haram attacks on “soft targets” in recent times adding that such attacks indicates Boko Haram weakening in the battle field where they hitherto have territorial control.
