Former Vice President and PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has denounced a recent statement made by Amaka Sunnberger, a Canada-based individual, during a TikTok virtual meeting. Sunnberger reportedly threatened to poison Yoruba and Benin people.
In a series of tweets on X Platform, Atiku Abubakar criticized Sunnberger’s comments and praised the swift actions taken by the House of Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission in response to the threat.
According to him: “The contentious virtual chat room clip, wherein participants made threats of ethnic cleansing against the Yorubas and Benin people, is unequivocally condemned in all aspects.
“I am informed that the identities of those involved have been disclosed and that calls have been made to the pertinent law enforcement agencies in Canada to prosecute the offenders.
“In this regard, I commend the House of Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission for their prompt and decisive action in addressing this incendiary rhetoric and preempting further escalation.
“This disconcerting episode underscores, once again, the imperative of uniting our people and our nation. Our rich diversity is our most cherished national asset and must be vigilantly protected”.
