A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bashir Ahmad, has countered United States lawmaker representing West Virginia’s Second District, Riley Moore, on a revelation from the Internally Displaced Persons, IDP camp in Benue State.
Moore, who was among the congressional delegation that
recently came to Nigeria on a fact-finding mission over the claim of Christian
genocide in Nigeria, had visited Benue IDP camp.
In a statement he released on Tuesday night, the US lawmaker
confirmed that over 600,000 Christians were displaced in Benue alone.
Moore said the victims, who were sacked from their ancestral
homes following attacks by the Islamic extremists narrated some horrible
stories.
He said the stories of the heinous attacks and killings
would remain with him until death.
Reacting, Bashir, a former presidential spokesperson,
accused the lawmaker of being biased.
In a post on his official X handle, Bashir questioned why
the Congressman failed to visit other states to see Muslims in IDP camps in
other states.
He said, “The fact that there are IDP camps in Benue doesn’t
mean there are none in other parts of the country.
“Had it been he wasn’t already biased in his outlook, he
would have made himself available to visit other places and see the situation
for himself”.
