Senator Abaribe Speaks On Barbados Independence, Says Agitators Were Not Killed

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe is a senator representing the good people of the Abia-South Senatorial District at the Upper Chamber.

Here is his comment on the new republic:

“Barbados just become independent from the UK and no one was killed.

When Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe fought for the independence of Nigeria, it was given to us on dialogue. The British even when they were controlling everything never used force on the agitators.

I see no reason why the current African head of state is using force Against agitators for self-determination instead of dialogue.

In our own country, the hypocritical fact is that while agitators are being hunted on daily basis, known terrorists are being given VIP treatment in the name of repentance.

This is why things keep going bad because those who feel marginalized will continue to use other means to drive home their agitations.

We need to apply dialogue to get things right. I will continue to speak this truth because posterity will judge our actions today.

It may bring bad omens for our children if we fail to do the right thing now!”
