A member of the House of Representatives, Mark Gbillah, has criticised the Deputy Speaker, Ahmed Wase, for blocking a petition by members of his constituency based in the United States of America.This was just as the Mutual Union of Tiv in America whose petition was blocked by Wase alleged that herdsmen were taking over and renaming their ancestral land abandoned by Tiv people in parts of Benue, Taraba and Nasarawa states due to herders-farmers clashes.
But Wase, who presided over the session prevented Gbillah from laying the petition, claiming that the House does not entertain petitions from outside the country.According to Gbillah, who faulted the Deputy Speaker, the Constitution gives Nigerians the freedom of association, and that the House has committees that handle issues relating to foreign affairs and the Diaspora.
It was titled, ‘A petition against the Federal Republic of Nigeria led by President Muhammadu Buhari.’ MUTA alleged that since 2013, “armed Fulani herdsmen have repeatedly wreaked havoc on communities in 20 of the 23 local government areas of Benue State, massacring thousands of people, destroying communities and, often, totally obliterating economic and cultural assets.”
That man Wase is a terror!zt
The fulanization of Benue has begun
