APC Accuses Jonathan In Playing Politics With Boko Haram

President Goodluck Jonathan plots to extend the emergency rule in the three terrorist-ravaged North-Eastern states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, for elections would not hold there. The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Oyegun supposed that at the APC ‘Salvation’ rally in Abuja.

He said the head of the country daily occupied in idle talks about a total war on Boko Haram, but wondered what the Federal government (FG) had been doing since the first time emergency rule was forced in these states.
APC has accused Jonathan’s government of playing politics with the Boko Haram group.

Oyegun also wondered if Jonathan established the emergency rule a number of times only to lock in the citizens so that the Boko Haram terrorists could have a free lead.
He said, “Without doubt, the war against Boko Haram has become a tool for self-enrichment and a tool to disenfranchise Nigerians who are perceived not likely to vote for President Jonathan’s re-election.”

“Everything points to the fact that President Jonathan’s handling of the Boko Haram insurgency is aimed at one thing and one thing only: disenfranchisement of persons who are perceived not to be in support of his re-election, especially in the North-Eastern part of the country.
“Is it not curious that Mubi was captured without one shot being fired by the insurgents or one single casualty on the part of federal troops? As a matter of fact, we have it on good authority that as soon as President Goodluck Jonathan obtains the green light from the National Assembly, there will be no elections in the North-Eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. By this singular act, some five million Nigerians will be disenfranchised, making Jonathan’s re-election a foregone conclusion.”
