Obinna Ogba, a Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) senator from Ebonyi, says Senate President Bukola Saraki is just
like Sani Abacha.
Abacha is the military dictator
who ruled Nigeria between 1993 and 1998. His government was poorly rated in so
many areas but Ogba said the retired army general was a good man.
He said under Abacha, the rate of
insecurity was not as high as it is now, saying the dictator did not approve of
some of the terrible things done under his watch.
Ogba spoke during the valedictory session of the eight senate, on
Thursday.
“I will liken Saraki leadership
to that of Abacha. He is just like Abacha. I am one of those who believe that
many people can say what they like but Sani Abacha is a president that we have
never seen. You may like him, you may not like him,” he said.
“Abacha is a very good man, no
matter what they are saying about him. People who are condemning him today are
doing worse things. During Abacha time, we didn’t have security problems like
this. The man did and so many good things.
“Wherever the man is, God will
continue to bless him. He is the one that gave us Ebonyi state. God will
continue to bless him and you too (Saraki).”
The legislator berated those
lawmakers who did not see anything good in other zones.
“In this chamber you find the
good, the bad and the ugly but Nigeria is represented here,” he said.
“What I noticed in this 8th
assembly is that there are people who do not see anything good except in their
zones.
We are not supposed to belong to
any political party, zones or religion here.
“The earlier we changed that
attitude, it will be better for this country. Mr President I want to thank the
leadership of the senate.”
