Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe representing Abia South Senatorial District has been given a pat on the back by social media users for standing firmly in defense of his people.

Many Twitter users who took to Twitter on Sunday commended him for turning down an invite to the reopening of the Enugu Airport in protest at the clash between security operatives and Igbo youths at Emene recently during which lives were lost.

According to social media commentators, the senator’s pro-people stance were also manifested during his time in the eight Senate.

He was praised for the conviction and courage exhibited towards the protection of his people.

GWG gathered the following tweets:

1. “Sen. Abaribe is the only Senator representing the masses, the rest are representing Buhari!!”

He turned down an invite to the reopening of Enugu Airport, to register his PROTEST for the slaughter of Igbos at Emene Massacre, by men of the Nigerian army, the police & the DSS!! pic.twitter.com/zxlzyw88WB

2. Sen. Abaribe is a Southeast LAWMAKER with integrity & empathy for his people.

He’s stood tall, in the defense of this democracy & opposed horrible bills at the floor of the 8th & 9th Senate.

Unlike many of his colleagues who’s sold out to Buhari, he is yet to be compromised!

These days, anyone who stand against buhari is the man of the masses, regardless of their past roles in keeping the people underdeveloped, I never knew it's this easy to be the man of the masses… Ethnic bigotry is Twitter Ng weakness….

I hope his people will stand fr his reelection or aspiratn 2 higher office? Because the reason most politicians don't stand publicly with the "masses" like this: when powers that be want 2 make them politically impotent the "masses " won't be there fr defense or will demand money

He has been consistent. I recall his battles as former Deputy Governor of Abia. The man stands tall.
