ABUJA— President Goodluck
Jonathan, Tuesday, sent a strong
message to former Head of State,
General Muhammadu Buhari, pleading with him to spearhead the campaign
to persuade members of the Boko
Haram sect to accept dialogue, as a
means of ending the orgy of violence
in the North. Similarly, Jonathan asked Buhari to
emulate the role he ( Jonathan)
played by going to meet militants in
their vast hideouts in the Niger Delta
to plead with them to lay down their
arms and accept the general amnesty granted by the late President Umaru
Musa Yar’Adua on June 25, 2009. Jonathan and Buhari Jonathan said he expected Buhari to
lead the way in persuading the Boko
Haram insurgents in the North to stop
bombings and enter into dialogue with
the Federal Government with a view
to ending the violence in the region, which is threatening to disrupt the
economy of the region and Nigeria. The President, who sent the message
to Buhari through his Senior Special
Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin
Okupe, accused the former head of
state of making false allegations
against him during his interview in London last week.

What Buhari told BBC in London During the interview with the BBC,

Buhari had said that the Federal
Government should be held
responsible for the worsening state of
insecurity in Nigeria, accusing the
leadership of not taking steps to halt the slide, which has claimed many
lives and property in the region. Buhari said: “The problem of terrorism
is not confined to the North alone.
Insecurity generally should be blamed
on the Federal Government. “The world is very much concerned
about two things — the issue of
security and economic wellbeing of a
nation. Security is number one. A
nation can only be economically
viable if there is security.

But how did all these crises start?
How did the crises begin and assume this dimension? “Until now, everyday, they abduct people and receive ransoms.

How wasthe problem reduced? How did it start? What method was employed to
convince them to mellow down? “Similarly, what we should look at is,
how did the Boko Haram start? We
know all these. Security is the
responsibility of the government. “It is the responsibility of the Federal
Government to know how this thing
started and how to go about it.”

Jonathan takes on Buhari
But Okupe asked Nigerians to
demand from Buhari what he had
done as a leader in the North and a
former head of state to halt the
attacks by the sect. He said: “Nigerians should ask him (Buhari) that as a former Head of state and as someone who wants to be president again, what he has done to end this insurgence in the country. “Or is it when he becomes President, he will stop the insurgence? No, it does not work that way. He should
emulate President Jonathan who went
to the creeks of the Niger Delta
canvassing peace and dialogue with the militants of the Niger Delta. “Everybody knows that it was General
Buhari, who vowed to make Nigeria
ungovernable for President Jonathan
if he loses the last presidential
election. It was in Minna, that he said
that once votes are countered and he loses that people should go for blood.
He said in Hausa language. General
Buhari is the person who sowed the
wind that the nation is now reaping in
whirlwind. “He is not in any position to apportion blames on the issue of violence in the North or in Nigeria in general. He is a protagonist of violence. The only position he sees for not being the President is to call for violence. This government has tried as much as
possible to contain some of Buhari’s
unguarded statements. I don’t think
anybody in Nigeria will take Buhari
very serious when he makes such
comments. “If there is anybody to blame, General Buhari comes number one on that list.
Have you ever seen General Buhari
visit BornoState or condemn the acts
of the Boko Haram or condole
whether Christians or Muslims that have been killed? “A man who can traverse the whole length and breadth of Nigeria, yet he cannot use that clout that he has and get leaders together to put an end to the insurgence in the country. And
yet he finds it comfortable to blame other people. What has he done as a
former Head of State to help Nigeria
and Nigerians stop the militancy in
the North or in other parts of the
country?”
