Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila wants Nigeria to take appropriate retaliatory measures against Ghana and against all those who trampled on the diplomatic rights and privileged of Nigeria and Nigerians in foreign lands
It’s an attack on Nigeria’s territorial integrity
He said “We all have a responsibility to make sure that we uphold the honour and integrity of the country that we serve. The Minister has explained what happened and what they have done or doing. But I think we should look at it from the premise that it was the Nigerian State that was attacked, not just a building.
“Others may say that this is a sibling rivalry that is going on between Nigeria and Ghana, and we did nothing, but we must take a stand, because this has gone beyond court processes as the Minister said. “So we should move away from this idea of gentleman big-brother whom everyone can just trample on and nothing is done.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyema had earlier informed the Committee on Foreign Affairs, headed by Rep. Yusuf Bubba that diplomatic efforts had gone into resolving the issue and appealed to the lawmakers to sheath their swords.
