Jonathan habouring Boko Haram in his government – CPC

By Ameh Comrade Godwin

President Goodluck Jonathan

One of the major opposition parties, Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has challenged President Goodluck Jonathan to name sponsors of the dreaded Boko Haram sect in his government and possibly prosecute them with immediate effect.
This was even as the national leader of the party, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) had condemned Jonathan on his failure to secure lives and property in Nigeria especially within the northern axis.
The National Publicity Secretary of the CPC, Engr. Rotimi Fashakin, in a communique issued recently in Abuja accused one of Jonathan’s advisers, Okupe of deploying bullish tactics to shut up critics as well as opposition in the country while responding to the former Head of State’s comments.
The statement reads: “Does it not speak eloquently on the mind-set of the President that he encourages his aides to lambast a former Nigerian leader and respected statesman for volunteering his concern on the general insecurity in the Nation state?

“Is it not a matter of grave concern that when a respected monarch, with all the retinue of security staff, could be so gruesomely attacked on the street, what hope is there for the ordinary Nigerian in this dispensation?
“Is it not ludicrous that, for more than one year since this President declared the infiltration of his government by Boko Haram, nobody (within his government) has been handed over for judicial prosecution?
“Is it not true that, rather than making the polity safe for the Citizens (based on the oath of allegiance sworn to on 29th May, 2011), this President has lately renewed his assault on our collective psyche with all the shenanigans of devious politicking, ahead of 2015 elections?,” the party queried.
The party said it would continue to leave up to its billing as a political party and also as vibrant opposition party in order to help the nation in its quest for uprightness and accountability.
