Legit.ng gathered that while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Sowunmi explained that Senator Abaribe was speaking on behalf of slain Nigerians, their families, and others who were victims of the security challenges in the country. He said: “I think Senator Abaribe’s comments must be situated properly. He is speaking on behalf of the people of the northwest; he is speaking on behalf of the northcentral, he is speaking on behalf of the families of slain Nigerians, the dead and their loved ones. He (Abaribe) is speaking on behalf of apolitical Nigerians, he is speaking on behalf of friends of Nigerians, he is speaking on behalf of the minority leader in the House (of Representatives) and he is making a very frank call that there is no reason for human lives to be lost under All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration.” According to him, it has gotten out of the president’s capacity to manage the problem of security, adding that there is nothing wrong in honourably resigning and allowing competent hands to take over. He said: “That is the reaction from all of those that are friends of this government. They are reacting as it were, spitting on the graves of the dead. We are not talking about the loss of income which is also a problem for them, we are not talking about the loss of jobs, we are not talking about lack of harmony in the country, we are talking about the loss of human lives."
