“You’re an ethnic bigot, an elder for nothing” – Igbokwe slams Abaribe over ‘The Dot Nation’ T-shirt

An APC chieftain in Lagos, Joe Igbokwe, has described Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe as an “ethnic bigot” and “elder for nothing” for donning a T-shirt with the inscription: “The Dot Nation”.

Igbokwe, who is the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Drainage and Water Resources, stated this in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

The Herald can report that the inscription is an apparent reference to President Muhammadu Buhari’s comment about the IPOB’s separatist agenda in a penultimate Thursday interview with Arise TV.

“That IPOB is just like a dot in a circle. Even if they want to exit, they’ll have no access to anywhere. And the way they are spread all over the country, having businesses and properties. I don’t think IPOB knows what they are talking about. In any case, we say we’ll talk to them in the language that they understand. We’ll organise the Police and the military to pursue them,” Buhari said.

The comment has attracted harsh criticism to the president, with many critics accusing him of being anti-Igbo.

Reacting to the inscription on Abaribe’s T-shirt, Igbokwe wrote, “A Senator and an ethnic bigot, an elder for nothing.

“The blood of those policemen and the uninformed youths killed in the South-East will be accounted for in the fullness of time, We cannot be mad all the time.”

Igbokwe added, “I will soon write a book on Abaribe.”
