A Chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Dr. Garus Gololo, has called for the arrest and prosecution of the Minority Leader of the Nigerian Senate, Senator Enyinaya Abaribe.

This was coming on the heels of the statement credited to the leader of opposition in the Senate, when he appeared at a Television program Monday morning.

Abaribe had reportedly faulted President Muhammad Buhari, for not declaring Fulani herdsmen as terrorist group.

But addressing newsmen in Abuja Monday evening, Gololo lambasted Senator Abaribe, describing him as a hypocrite.

He said the lawmaker had no moral justification for suggesting that "the largest tribe" in Nigeria be proscribed.

"It is very unfortunate that, same Senator who stood as surety to abate the release of a man who was being prosecuted for crimes against the state, and the man later jumped bail to a foreign land; could still have the mouth to speak against Fulani people.

"What crime could be more terrible than that of a man who sought to disintegrate the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with the intension to having his own sovereign state and be printing his own currency at will? Treason is a serious crime all over the world. Yet, Abaribe stood for him.

"Senator Ali Ndume who stood as surety for someone who was just accused of embezzlement, was arrested and imprisoned, until the accused showed up, I wonder why they still allow Abaribe to be moving freely and still be attending plenary, to the extent of having the guts to speak in a manner to disintegrate this country.

"The Inspector General of Police should work with the Federal High Court and have him arrested, so he could produce the culprit he assisted to run away. The Senate President should not even allow him attend plenary, because his conduct is not that of a leader", Gololo said.

He said at a time when the nation is in a turmoil, what a good leader would do is to proffer solutions on how to arrest the insecurities and unrest, to enable Nigerians stay as one indivisible entity, and not to be making inflammatory statements that could further jeopardize the peace and tranquillity of the nation.

Gololo added that, like other tribes, criminal elements also do exist amongst the Fulani people, saying the government and security agencies should rather go after the criminals and bring them to book, instead of listening to enemies of one Nigeria.
