Former Senate Minority Leader and lawmaker representing Abia South Senatorial District, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has denied reports alleging that he threatened to disrupt plenary at the National Assembly if President Bola Tinubu fails to secure the immediate release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Abaribe, in a statement issued by his media aide, Uchenna Awom, in Abuja on Friday, described the viral claim as false and deliberately crafted to sabotage ongoing efforts aimed at securing a political resolution to Kanu’s case.
The viral statement, widely circulated on social media, claimed that Abaribe staged a dramatic protest at the National Assembly, wielding a placard and blocking key access roads.
