SENATE President, Dr. Ahmed Lawan has come under serious criticism over his attack on Southern Governors over their call for restructuring and ban on open grazing, with elder statesman and first Republic Aviation Minister, Chief Mbazulike Amechi telling him to keep quiet if he has no meaningful thing to say about the meeting, adding that Northern Governors have more unsolved problems facing them than their southern counterparts.
The former Senate President, Dr. Adolphus Wabara also advised him to stop talking loosely and the Chidi Ibeh -led Ohanaeze Ndigbo described him as “a rubber stamp of the presidency and biased umpire”, calling for his impeachment without delay.
Last week’s announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari that the Federal Government is coming up with new security measures for the South-East and South-South zones is eliciting strong reactions from across the country.
