Protesters barricaded the National Assembly drumming support
for the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy Ike
Ekweremadu. The pro democracy group, Ohanaeze Ndi-Igbo Youth Movement
,ONYM, led by Mr Uche Nnadi told newsmen that the rally to the National
Assembly was also to protest the use of anti-corruption war by politicians for personal gains.
“This despair is caused by the fact that the anti-corruption
war which Nigeria in general and Igbo youths have keyed into is being
misused by few political elite to fight their political war.
“We must state categorically that it is an act of corruption to use the anti-corruption war for party politics and political benefits,’’ Nnadi said.
He faulted the trial of Saraki by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, saying
that he was being persecuted because his emergence as Senate President
allowed an Igbo man to be the Deputy Senate President.
The
protesters displayed placards such as “No to Witch-hunting” and “No to
Plot To Destabilize National Assembly”, as they continued singing Saraki
should be left alone.

@adegbite:
hahahahaha: you just made me laugh. The thing is that those people
supporting Biafra are not Igbos. The Real IGBOS are the ones supporting
SARAKI and believes in the NATION called Nigeria. @Gbenga: that's true.

anyone with the mind set of generalizing needs to repent.

The
paradox is that they're only adding fuel to the fire looming the
Senate, but some people are too myopic to see above the hill.
