Former Bakassi Peninsula detainee and pioneer founder of Biafra National League, BnL, Princewill Chimezie Richards has cautioned against any harm on the Senate President, Dr Godswill Akpabio.
Recall that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central senatorial district had dragged the Senate President to the International Parliamentary Union, IPU, over her six months suspension by the Senate last week and alleged sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President.
This follows her refusal to appear before the Senate Committee on Ethics and Discipline to substantiate her allegations against Akpabio.
There have been other protests and counter claims around the country for and against Akpabio over the issue.
In a statement, the former Biafran separatist said he knew that Akpabio will not escape what he did to Senator Ali Ndume, adding, “Natasha is just a setup.”
He said his supporters are waiting for when they will hurt Akpabio, then they will strike from Bakassi Peninsula.
Insinuating about unseen hands fueling the attacks on Akpabio, Richards said, “It’s not all about wearing Babariga to every Senate session, the South can never please the North.”
Speaking about Simon Ekpa, the former militant leader, Richards said he had chosen to remain silent since Ekpa’s arrest.
He said, “The killings in Imo State have not stopped, the media did not report them again so it will appear that peace has returned.”
He added, “Finland will never send Simon Ekpa to Nigeria. And he is likely to be released by May.”
