The former military president disclosed that there were other sensitive issues confronting the nation which were also deadly, but were being swept under the carpet.
General Babangida, at an interaction with newsmen at his Hill Top mansion, Minna, Niger state as part of activities to mark his 71st birthday, also declared that he had no link with Boko Haram. He challenged Nigerians to unravel those behind the Islamic sect and its origin rather than point accusing fingers at innocent citizens.
Babangida said: “From my own observation and reading what the media write, I want to say you have not done more studies, you have not done more investigations and researches to find out the causes of this Boko Haram and even communal clashes within the Fulanis, Gwaris and other tribes in the country.
"Somebody should be able to tell us; somebody should be able to do a research on these and not just conclude that I and some few others are behind the Boko Haram, which is not so.”
General babangida also threw his weight behind the establishment of state police, pointing out that the agitation for state police was in order and needs to be considered.

IBB, Atiku and the main man Buhari made statements that are inflaming crises so they should watch their words.

ReplyDeleteWhat da fuck does Boko Haram want and why can't the power of the state be brought down on these killers?
ReplyDeleteTo start with,declare a total emergencY on all Northern states and use superior intelligence to flush out rag tag Boko Harammers! This is so ridiculous! That a bunch of Rag Tag illiterate normads would hold d country hostage! Osama Bin ladi was killed,we need to kill Boko Haram now! Enough is enough!
Why can't IBB condem the Boko Haram if he's not sponsoring them.He's just playing game with the country.He stole too much money from the government and want to creat problem for the poor people.He's a bastard who deserve to be in prison.
ReplyDeleteDeceivers! The government is involved in everything that's happening. Because alot of discrepansies have shown that. May God help us from our bad leaders!
ReplyDeleteSome people here were commenting as if they are talking with anus. How sentiment will blind people that deep you into free thinking and unjudicial judgement over issues? I blieved that IBB BUHARI AND ATIKU are not boko harams but i dont force any one to bleive my perceptions. I dont mean the north and south must contineu amalgating no! If they want to go i dont give a damn! They are free to do that and am not ready to even look at them. Nigeria is wide they can decide on their own but they have to stap blackmilling people jus becouse of sentiment. Many of us here in the north bleived that government are the boko haram but they dont want us to talk and dont allso give a damn! To stop the killing wich is too bad. Jibril makarfi
