Senate President Bukola Saraki has come under attack for faulting the categorisation of the Indigenious People of Biafra (IPOB) as a terrorist organisation.
Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, chief whip of the house of representatives, said the comment credited to the former Kwara State governor portrays him as a controversial leader.
Recall Saraki had on Monday, September 18, opposed the declaration, describing it as unconstitutional.
He added that said due process was not followed.
But Doguwa dismissed Saraki’s statement, saying “he can’t cry more than the bereaved”.
“For me, the recent comment made by the senate president on this matter was a mere political statement that would only portray him as a controversial leader,” Ado-Doguwa said.

“I am sure the senate president was only expressing his personal opinion, which I believe is not a good one in the given circumstance.
“The Nigerian armed forces, in my opinion, are doing their best professionally and in the best interest of a united Nigeria.
“Even the south-eastern state governors have declared the activities of Kanu’s IPOB as illegal and therefore proscribed. He can’t cry more than the bereaved.”
