“On a daily basis soldiers, police and other security personnel are being killed by Boko Haram members and the President has the effrontery to tell us that these murderers are members of the family and he cannot mobilise the army to deal with them."
For failing to declare a total war against terrorism in the country, the Northern Christians Association of Nigeria have asked President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office immediately.
Olufamous.com gathered that President Jonathan said recently that he could not crush the dreaded Islamic sect because “they are our siblings and you cannot set the army to wipe out your family”.
In a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Sunday Oibe, the Northern Christian Association of Nigeria said the comments credited to Jonathan was an indication that the country was in a helpless situation as the President “does not seem to understand the aim of the sect to destabilise his administration.”
According to the Northern CAN, it is shocking for the President to say he will not deploy the military to deal with terrorist who have been killing other Nigerians and threatening the corporate existence of the country.
The body argued that it was clear that the President has been shielding the group at the expense of the lives of innocent people, urging Nigerians to have a rethink on the type of president that is governing the country at the moment.
The statement read in part: “Every Nigerian can recall how former President Olusegun Obasanjo reacted when the Niger Delta militants attacked soldiers in Udi. Even though the militants were asking for their legitimate right, Obasanjo dealt with them squarely for resorting to criminality in agitating for their right. No country in the world will allow its soldiers, trained to defend the territorial integrity of the nation to be killed by a gang of criminals and get away with it...
“Jonathan has failed us Christians, he has failed Nigerians and he should resign because by this statement, it is very clear that he is not capable of handling the danger pose by the Boko Haram insurgency.”

ReplyDeleteThere's no doubt that GEJ is weak president.Most people are very disapointed with his administration except those who are looting.This is a man who allow his wife to be cOllecting salary as a ghost permanent secretary while majority have no job.I think he should resign.He's a disgrace to the country.
ReplyDeleteboko haram are residue of ex niger delta militant,because even the poor muslim and christian are killed,with no important figure been targeted or even an attempt,all people that are arrested as member of the sect, no information about their confession,
ReplyDeleteCAN now you are talking and i bleived that if you insist every thing will change, we dont deeply hate gej but we want him to act with justification not only on security matters but on all aspect so that he can lead the nation many times to come. If you can provide nigerians with their needs no one will talk as far as we breath the fresh air no need of okufe, maku and others mes. Jibril makarfi
