Former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav has literally torn his Tiv kinsmen apart, describing them as bunch of parasites.
The elder statesmen was reacting to a recent statement attributed to some elders from his village, who disowned him over his recent attacks on Dr. Samuel Ortom-led government in the state.
In a statement issued on Monday, the former police boss warned his brethren to stop making comments that were only good for the recycle bin.
The statement reads: “I am amused at the press statement issued by the so-called Vandeikya Apc stakeholders allegedly condemning me for criticizing Gov Samuel Ortom for his abysmal performance for which they also claimed that they disown me.
“First of all, who are they to speak for the Kunav or Vandeikya people?
They are nothing but a bunch of parasites and self seekers who don’t even care for their own children, let alone care for the dynamic Kunav people.
“I am not in partisan politics and therefore not a card carrying member of any political party. I can not therefore be tied to the whims and caprices of a political party, I am therefore concerned about who rules us and how he rules us.
“I therefore have a right to criticize any Leader and politician who misrules my people.
“Furthermore, the Nigerian constitution allows me the right of self expression. No one has the right to stop me from excersing this right except a court of competent jurisdiction.
“If the so-called Kunav Apc stakeholders have sadly mortgaged their conscience and the welfare of their people for peanuts, then i am deeply in sympathy with them. No one can stop me from criticizing a puppet and corrupt Apc government of Benue state who are all out to subvert the CHANGE PROGRAM of president Mohammadu Buhari.
“I am deeply in sympathy with my people because we have no Leaders but sycophants, scavengers and self seekers.
“They say, I did not help any Tiv man when i was in police service, but also failed to say who their own parents helped.
“I was in the Police to arrest and prosecute offenders and I did that to the best of my ability and earned IGP’s commendation and monetary award.
“Others said I became a Muslim because I wanted to be IGP, I will not respond to this most idiotic and stupendous insinuations from idle and evil minds.
“When shall we grow and be civilized? When shall we stop being petty?”
