Boko Haram Installs Emirs In Gwoza, Dambua by sleeknick: 8:16am On Sep 17, 2014 |
Senator Ndume, who represents southern Borno, told lawmakers that Boko Haram has literally sacked two emirs and installed their own on Monday. His words: “I represent southern Borno and Gwoza. The challenges we are facing are more serious than what we have faced before. We, the people of southern Borno, particularly Gwoza, parts of Adamawa and Yobe know that it’s presently occupied! “I read here on the Senate Order Paper about a threat. It’s no longer a threat; somebody is occupying that place and he’s declared it a caliphate! “Yesterday, a new emir was installed by Boko Haram in Dambua. The original emir is taking refuge in Abuja. Boko Haram installed a new emir in Gwoza…Recently, we conceded the extension of state of emergency and it was because it could get out of hand. Can it get out of hand more than what is happening now?”, he asked. Chairman of the Senate Committeeon Investment, Nenadi Usman, pleaded with the chamber to “look at the issue holistically because there are internally displaced persons in my constituency too. The resolution for the declaration of total war came through a motion moved by Senate Leader Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN) and 107 senators tagged: “Threat to national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria by insurgents.” The Senate resolved that the Boko Haram challenge had risen beyond mere insurgency to a full-scale war against the Nigerian state. The lawmakers declared that only a declaration of total war by the President will offer a sustainable solution to the menace of the sect. Ruling on the motion, Senate President David Mark, insisted that Nigeria must move beyond bandying words with Boko Haram and declare total war now. “When Boko Haram moved from kidnapping, killing of people and destruction of property to occupation of parts of Nigerian territory, it has declared a total war on Nigeria. There is no difference between what Boko Haram is doing against Nigeria and what an enemy country waging war in Nigeria would have done. “The issue is beyond that of mere internal security. It is about how we execute the war. If Boko Haram has captured most of the parts of the country we represent and has created a caliphate, it means that some of the senators from those areas can no longer be in this chamber. This is why we must pay urgent attention to the matter,” he said. Mark also noted out that the threat posed by Boko Haram war will affect the 2015 general elections. He, however, insisted that the issue at stake is far beyond that of election. He said: “There is no question of election, it is not even on the table now. We are in a state of war. All of us cannot carry guns to fight but we all have roles to play in bringing the situation to an end”. The entire Senate leadership, chairmen of committees that have roles to play on national security, defence and intelligence as well as all senators from the three affected states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are now scheduled to meet with Mr. President and deliver the resolutions of the Senate. Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu seconded the motion with a warning that there may not be elections in Nigeria in 2015 if Boko Haram insurgency persists. “We must make no mistake about this; if we don’t secure the North East, there may not be elections in 2015. If anyone thinks because he is from Lagos, Enugu and it doesn’t concern him, that person is mistaken…Democracy isn’t working in Yobe, Adamawa and Borno states. We must take a firm stand now.” Meanwhile, the Upper Chamber also resolved that the $1billion external loan requested by the President shortly before it embarked on long recess be granted with accelerated approval.

Good news, Jonathan's plan is playing out gradually, now that even the senators are beginning to see for themselves there may not be election ( which is their major concern and sole purpose of taking this threat serious ) and not the thousands of souls that have been maimed in their country by some useless polithiefcians they bestowed power to secure them, it's now clearer why the man in Aso rock is acting like a locomotive in dealing with the situation, to this useless leaders, all that matters to them is election and staying in power it doesn't matter how many souls is spilled. When Nigeria decide to remove their ethnic, religious sentiment and deal with the situation squarely, only then we will have freedom, for God sake i thought we gained independent a long time ago, but we elected some bastard who has returned us to the same slave era the white men could not even think of. They bought new jet, it was used once to fight boko haram with success recorded and the jet went missing and till now we can't account for it, even a car can't go missing without any trace for weeks. A jet belong to jonathan's ally accosted in another country with huge sum meant for arms purchase, since when did country start buying arm illegally? so many question not answered by this government and all the useless followers who bear the brunt of this the madness care about is, PDP, APC, buhari, kwakwaso Jonathan. Nigerian's suffering and smiling since Jesus turned water to wine. 1 Like |
