WE WOULD GIVE YOU WAR IF THAT SETTLES IT- SENATOR ADAMU BULKACHUWA

Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa who is the Chairman Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has declared that the Nigerian Government is taking a stiff stand not to bow to the demands of those he described as ‘insurgents’ in the South East.

According to him, history has it that the Southeast had once tried separating from the country which resulted to a civil war. The Senator fired warnings that the Federal Government will not hesitate if it’s left with no choice.

Senator Adamu is also of the opinion that the killings, kidnappings, banditry and agitations are all prelude to the general elections in 2023, insisting there would not be zoning of the presidency because it is undemocratic and unconstitutional.

It is no news that the South-East have been clamouring to be given the opportunity to produce the next President of the country come 2023, but Senator Bulkachuwa pointed out that politics is a game of number, adding that political parties should be allowed to present the right candidates from any zone for Nigerians to pick from.

The senator was quoted saying, “those insurgency in the Southeast, they’re all claiming that they want their own country called Biafra right? If that is the case, is it by killing people that they’ll get their country?

“They’ve tried it before, do they want us to go back to the same route? I don’t think so. But if they do, if that’s what they choose, has Nigeria got any choice?

“Will we just allow them, bow and say, ‘we’ll grant you your own wish?’ No. Nigerian government has to stand out, fight them and give them what they want.”
