A group that identifies itself as Advocates of Garb (AOG) has condemned what it described as the growing attacks on the person of the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan ever since his caution against the resort to regionalism by governors from the Southern part of the country..
In a statement issued by the chairman of the group, Joshua Thomas and Secretary, Musa Rabilu, the group noted that the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila also faulted the governors’ position on national security.
The group quoted Gbajabiamila as saying that all must ‘‘imbibe the spirit of oneness, togetherness, unity and love.”

A group known as Advocates of Garbs (AOG) has called on those “attacking” Senate President Ahmed Lawan over his comments on “Asaba Declaration” by southern governors to stop in the interest of the nation.
Southern governors met last week in Asaba, Delta State, where they called for the convocation of a national dialogue, demanded bold steps to restructure the country, a total ban on open grazing and also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to address the nation following the spate of killings and agitations in the country.
But reacting to the development, Lawan accused the governors of “retreating to regionalism” to address a national issue that should be collectively decided upon.
