Senate Rejects Makinde's Call for UN Probe into Oyo School Abduction

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1RLik-ewis

The Senate has cautioned Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde against making statements it said could undermine the Federal Government’s and security agencies’ efforts to tackle terrorism and kidnapping, following his call on the United Nations to investigate the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area.

The warning came during Tuesday’s plenary as lawmakers considered a motion on the rescue of 39 abducted pupils and seven teachers from the local government area.

Senator Adams Oshiomhole, who raised the issue, described Makinde’s appeal to the United Nations as inappropriate, arguing that Nigeria has the capacity to investigate and address its own security challenges.

“Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde calling on the United Nations to investigate the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers is most unstatesmanlike. He carries partisan politics too far, and this Senate should condemn his unguided statement. Nigeria is a sovereign nation,” Oshiomhole said.

The position was seconded by Senator Aniekan Bassey, who backed the Senate’s stance that national security matters should be handled through Nigeria’s institutions.

Speaking on the motion, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele commended the Armed Forces, intelligence agencies and other security personnel for rescuing the abducted pupils and teachers.

He also praised President Bola Tinubu for directing security agencies to deploy all necessary resources to secure the victims’ release.

According to Bamidele, the operation demonstrated improved professionalism, operational efficiency and coordination among the country’s security agencies.

The Senate observed a minute’s silence for Lieutenant F.A. Isaac, Private Silas Musa and Sergeant Abena John Jerome, who died during the rescue operation, while also acknowledging injuries sustained by Lance Corporal Adamu Hussain.

Lawmakers noted that one of the abducted teachers died in captivity despite the successful rescue of the remaining victims.

The Senate urged the Federal Government to ensure the prompt payment of death benefits, pensions and other entitlements to the families of the fallen personnel and called for improved welfare, training and equipment for security agencies.

It also called for intensified military and intelligence operations to secure the release of other Nigerians still in captivity across the country.

The Senate urged the Federal Government to ensure the prompt payment of death benefits, pensions and other entitlements to the families of the fallen personnel and called for improved welfare, training and equipment for security agencies.

Tinubu’s ACN did it first under Jonathan. Hypocrisy.

Senate or APC? That’s one APC senator talking just to defend their pay master. Allow the governor to express his view and experience concerning the matter. It’s his state and he knows better

What are they scared of..

If they can help us probe.. at least we wont be having mass school abductions every eve of election years..

AMINDA:
Tinubu’s ACN did it first under Jonathan. Hypocrisy.

The man was a very successful businessman b4 he became Governor of Oyo State, he will be in serious trouble when he leaves power next year.

I believe he is fully aware of that, hence all these his shenanigans of running for President, and now this nonsense talk of a UN investigation.

How many killings or kidnappings have been successfully investigated by the stupid national body. They want to sweep necessary information under the carpet. If you guys could use the help of US forces why can't you use the UN help to investigate if nothing is fishy

The United Nations never investigate the genocide being carried out in Gaza by the Israelis everyday, na una wey dey Zoo, The UN get time for?

Delusional imagination.

Why are they afraid of the matter being tabled to UN for investigation if they don't have any hidden agenda?

Mankinde know say na federal government crazies plan something happen for him state

Whoever questions Makinde's move to involve the UN in this matter either has a skeleton in the cupboard or is a wicked person

Calling for the UN to investigate terrorism attack and kidnapping on those kids and teachers is now nonsense talk? You're wicked and naive than I thought

I don’t blame u for your ignorance, no wonder u are a Wailer.

I'm not a wailer. Someone is talking about national issues that has affected the country for far too long and you're calling it nonsense talk. Between me and you, who is wailing? Bro, you need to grow up!

Why do these guys always get triggered by call for investigation?
Talking about sovereignty, how has that benefited us in any way? Has it stopped poverty and suffering in the country?

Yhu are claiming sovereignty yet yhu run to borrow money every now and then but when it comes to the call for help for the people yhu always angry.......

Do yhu really think Seyi Makinde would call for foreign investigation without any reason?

I am sure he must have suspected a foul play and he knows the system isn't clean to investigate, hence the call for higher and cleaner body.

But Gbajabiamila with a corruption scandal and Umahi with a homicide scandal hovering over their necks are still roaming free. The joke is on you. Bring it on. Makinde is not a coward.

Hmmmm. What are they scared of ?

U sound childish & unrealistically misinformed, your bitter emotions is getting the better of u.

Why are they rattled about the UN appeal, especially if they have nothing to hide.

Since the statement,

It has been from one attack and threat, to another.

These are some of the reasons Nigeria will never ever grow and develop.

Wailers always looking for another reason to wail, The UN investigation indeed.

The guy you quoted is a child. He doesn't know anything at all

Which Senate, the one of the APC senators, I presume?

If we are not careful, the impending revolution in our country will be hastened by this irresponsible 10th Senate.

GSM is the sitting governor and possesses extensive knowledge of security matters. Even if he doesn't have total control, he at least reviews the daily security reports. Such a man cannot be ignored. He acted with great prudence by calling for an independent investigation, without accusing anyone. But those same people who went to America shouting "bring back our girls!" suddenly realize that Nigeria is a sovereign state. In the similar incident for which they blamed President Jonathan, exonerating Shettima, they are now accusing GSM instead of the president. I think Nigerians need to realize that the people in Abuja care little for the people they claim to represent; sadly, they only care about their political careers.

For my part, GSM's call for a more thorough investigation should not be ignored, even if career politicians seek to protect their interests and by extension, ill-gotten wealth

Tinubu too was successful Chigaco business man when he was in ACN. Nonsense.

Pardon some people's ignorance and educate them on why it it is nonsensical to petition for investigation into a crime, if he has his suspicions.

Agreed, some are wailing but please shed a bit more light for the sake of those that are not wailing because from your responses here you seem more informed.

Stop gaslighting us into accepting APC version of the event, because all the narration that is coming out from both the military, police and political institutions is that Nigeria populace must accept their own version of the event, is it not the same APC that was peddling that it was Governor S'eyi Makinde that is behind the kidnapping of the children? Now the Governor said the whole world 🌎 should investigate the scenarios, but the headless political chickens are saying that they should not politicize the issue, shame on you Evil people.
