The President of Nigeria’s Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has called on the International Parliamentary Union (IPU) to advocate strongly for the restoration of lasting peace in the war-torn region of Gaza.
He made this plea while participating in discussions at the ongoing 148th Session of the IPU Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.
Akpabio emphasized the need for nations to rise above sentiments and prioritize the spirit of humanity by taking decisive actions to bring sustainable peace to Gaza.
He highlighted key resolutions that should be considered, including access to humanitarian aid, restoration of normal life in Gaza, and discussions on a permanent truce.
Addressing the assembly, Akpabio stated, “We must drop ego. It has nothing to do with which country brings the proposal.
The basic tenets of humanity demand that we leave here with a resolution for the rest of the world to show that we have human feelings in us.”
He further stressed the urgency of the situation, citing the ongoing suffering of children and civilians in Gaza.
Akpabio called for a cessation of hostilities, access to humanitarian aid, and the release of hostages and prisoners of war as crucial steps towards achieving sustainable peace in the region.
Akpabio urged the assembly to set aside differences and work towards a comprehensive resolution for Gaza, emphasizing the importance of collective action in addressing the humanitarian crisis.
He proposed the formation of a drafting committee to develop resolutions that reflect the urgent need for peace in Gaza.
The Nigerian Senate President’s impassioned plea underscores the critical need for international intervention to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza and restore peace to the region.
