The Senate has mandated its leadership to
meet with the executive to resolve the crises emanating from series of ethnic
agitation across the country, especially from the South East.
The
senators reached the decision yesterday at its resumption after eight-week
recess. It was
part of a truce Igbo senators reached with their northern counterparts at a
closed-door session, which lasted about two hours.
At the
end of the executive session, President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, read out
the summary of the outcome of the meeting:
“At
about 12.30pm, we concluded our closed-door session. We deliberated on key national
issues and resolved as follows that the unity of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria is non negotiable.
“We also
resolved to seek all lawful avenues to ensure that peace is restored to all
parts of Nigeria.
“All
groups or associations currently in agitations for one reason or the other
should do so through the laws of the land.”
