Stop Killing Boko Haram Members – Buhari Tells FG Dated JUNE 2 2013 by Nobody: 6:01pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
Former Head of Military Ruler and Chieftain of the
Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Federal
Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram
insurgents, saying Niger Delta Militants were never
killed or properties belonging to them destroyed.
Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio
programme, Guest of the Week monitored said
accused the government of killing and destroying
houses belonging to Boko Haram members while the
Niger Delta militants get special treatment.
The former dictator said that unlike the special
treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the
federal government, the Boko Haram members were
being killed and their houses demolished by
government.
While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the
beginning to address the security situation in the
country, Buhari said he has never been in support of
the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa
state.
According to Buhari “what is responsible for the
security situation in the country is caused by the
activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that
is familiar with what is happening knows this. The
Niger Delta militants started it all.
“What happened is that the governors of the Niger
Delta region at that time wanted to win their
elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them
guns and bullets and used them against their
opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to
return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns.
Because of that, the allowance that was being given
to the youths by the governors during that time was
stopped.
“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and
were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to
20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why
will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and
then come back and get employed by government to
be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get
employment.
“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -
South and the South -East. They kidnapped people
and were collecting money.
“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their
leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the
police couldn’t control them and the army was
invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over
to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law,
was for the police to carry out investigations and
charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed
him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished
their houses.
“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what
they are doing today.
You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the
late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an
aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and
discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they
were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given
employment, but the ones in the north were being
killed and their houses were being demolished.
They are different issues, what brought this? It is
injustice”.
While fielding questions in English in the same
programme, Buhari said that the promoters of the All
Progressive Congress (APC) were aware of the
challenges ahead of them in an effort to get the party
registered, saying “the road to merger is quite rough.
“The ruling party, with its enormous resources and
its capacity for coercion has seen it as a threat and
they have said it. Personally, I came to realise since
2007 that Nigerians believe that the only way to
stabilise the system of multi-party democracy is for
the opposition parties that have representatives right
from Councillors to the National Assembly come
together to deliver their constituencies
democratically.
This is the only way you can counter PDP’s enormous
physical and material influence in the country”
He expressed optimism that the All Progressive
Congress will be registered saying “by nature, I am
an optimist. If I were not an optimist, I will not
attempt to contest the presidency three times and
end up in the Supreme Court three times. I believe
we are going to be registered.
“There is a law guiding party registration which states
that you must have your headquarters in the nation’s
capital that can be identified by INEC and you must
have a convention. All the three parties involved have
held their conventions and have agreed to forsake
our existing parties and go for APC.
“At the national level, we must have those who will
run the party. As soon as we meet these criteria and
INEC acknowledge that, 30 days after the
acknowledgement, we are APC whether INEC write us
and give us the registration or not”
