How can a Senator of that calibre who claim to be an Activist have this kind of warped political reasoning devoid of justice and equity?<\/p>\n<p>However, the Ohanaeze spokesman insisted that after the North(Buhari), it\u2019s the turn of the South East to produce the next Nigeria President, calling on the people of south East to go into alliances in order to occupy the number one seat of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>He said this while paying Sallah homage to the first Executive Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Asked to react to the insecurity in the land, Ibegbu berated the Nigeria Army , Police and other security agents over alleged impunity and bestiality which led to the Taraba shooting and killing of more than four hundred Shiites members in Zaria.<\/p>\n<p>He warned of the consequences of impunity at high and low places in Nigeria and called on the judiciary to discharge their duty by sending these killers to jail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, our so called politicians care less over this killings and are only interested in their pockets and positions. Many hoodlums and killers were recruited into our security forces and we are paying for it now.
