The Chairman Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa, said the Nigerian Government will not bow to the demands of insurgents in the South-East but to give them another civil war.
The Senator, who represents Bauchi-North senatorial district in the National Assembly, stated this during an interview during a television programme.
Bulkachuwa noted that the South-East had tried in the past to separate the country which resulted in a civil war.
There are people who feel democracy is not good enough for them and they want to devise their own means of belonging to this entity called Nigeria and if they dont have their wish, theyll let Nigeria go to pieces, he said.
So is that anything that the Constitution allows or encourages? So theyre absolutely outside the realm of the Constitution”.
Those insurgencies in the South-East, theyre all claiming that they want their own country called Biafra right? If that is the case, is it by killing people that theyll get their country?” he queried.
The South-East has been clamouring to be given the opportunity to produce the next President of the country come 2023, but Senator Bulkachuwa pointed out that politics is a game of number.
He added that political parties should be allowed to present the right candidates from any zone for Nigerians to pick from.
