House Of Reps Member Sacks Aide For Describing Abubakar Shekau As ‘True Hero’ (Photos)

The lawmaker representing Maiduguri federal Constituency, Abdulkadir Rahis has sacked his aide Bukar Tanda, for describing Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau as a “true hero”, IgbereTV reports.

Tanda who reacted to report of Shekau blowing up himself to avoid being captured by fighters of the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) — a breakaway faction of Boko Haram, had said that the leader of Boko Haram "lived a life of hero and died a true hero”.

A Facebook post shared by the lawmaker's aide, read;

“I admire and appreciate his courage to terminate his life. He lived a life of a hero and died a true hero. He did it in such a way that not even traces of his corpse will be found."

Tanda has now been sacked by his principal who said his "actions, utterances and opinion of recent are at variance with his interest, constituency and the APC.

The letter Rahis personally signed, read;

“I wish to formally write and notify you of the termination of your appointment as my legislative aide, forthwith.

“Your actions, utterances and opinion of recent are at variance with my interest, that of my constituency and our great party, the APC.

“The letter also serve as a disclaimer to any action or position you took or wish to take, on any matter that may have the remotest connection with me as a person or my office.”

Reacting to his sack, Bukar Tanda stated that his intention was not to support Shekau. He said that his statement was merely philosophical and metaphorical, but got misunderstood.

Bukar Tanda wrote on his Facebook handle;

"NOT ALL STORMS COME TO DESTROY SOME COME TO CLEAR YOUR PATHWAY

My Dear Friends and Associates please note that as a conscious and enlightened citizen of Nigeria, it should be noted that in view of the trending allegations my most urgent concern and priority shouldn't be joining issues with anyone who is entitled to his opinion but to ensure the proof of my innocence particularly from all the relevant Government authorities.

However, for the sole purpose of record and posterity, I wish to categorically state that I have never in my entire life shared anything in common with any criminal person or group under whatever pretext and I hold no sympathy nor affection to any of such characters. To this effect, for anyone to perceived and believe that I will have sympathy or affection for terrorists is highly unfortunate and most regrettable.

Indeed, I have a very rich practical experience of the extent of destruction and atrocities committed by the BHT and related terrorists group against innocent souls. Since 2011 to date, I was directly engaged through several Local and International Projects and Program with the ultimate goal of direct countering of the narratives and ideologies of the terrorists and extremists. I have excellent records of accomplishments in the direct fight against the extremists narratives. I have traveled across almost all the States of North East to sensitize communities against the ideologies of terrorist organization.

From 2011 through to 2015, my name has been in the Assassination list of the BHT, but all the tracking effort of BHT to execute could not come to reality. While I was lucky to survive many others could not including many of my closest friends and relatives. BHT remained the worst creatures ever lived in the history of mankind. This is general view I hold against the BHT and I drew this conviction from the words of our Noble Prophet Muhammad SAW when he was describing to his companions the likes and characteristics of BHT.

Thus, in view of the above practical experience, it is my conviction that no one will ever believe that I will hold any iota of sympathy or affection to the course of BHT and related terrorists. I'm also very confident that Non among the Social Media Drumbeaters will be ready and willing to avail himself to give a convincing testimonies before any Court of Law that I have sympathy and affection for terrorists.

Therefore, I wish to use this platform to appeal and call on all subject to be considerate in their conduct in this matter. This matter have been exceedingly politicized and ideally it shouldn't. Despite our contrary Political Interest, I expect that there is a limit to what we can Politicized. I personally viewed this to be too extreme. Our rule of Political engagement should not reach this too far. Anything that questions or capable of jeopardizing integrity and reputation should not easily used as an Political instrument.

In conclusion, I wish to greatly appreciate the very timely proactiveness and concern of the appropriate Security Service for inviting me and interrogating me in a highly professional and ethical manner. My engagement with the Security Service team remain one of the best moment in this overflouted allegations against my personal integrity and reputation. I am very delighted that I was respectfully invited and interrogated.

All should note that I deliberately avoided to speak to the message that brought about this unfortunate division amongst ourselves and I will never discuss the content of the message. My decision on not to speak on the message is basically on the ground that " Action can only be satisfactorily judged and or measured by Intention". My intension was not geared toward sympathy or affection to Shekau. In the Post, I only tried to be metaphorical and philosophical in my expression just as the Author of the Post did i.e. Ahmed Lawan Dalorima

Despite the all that happened, I hold no grudge against anyone who have speak against or for. I took personal and unilateral responsibility for all that happened and accused nobody for any wrongdoing. I have learnt a lifetime lesson and have now have clear idea of the companies to relate with. In this matter, I have acquired rare privilege of recognition which itself is a great honour.

To Honourable Abdulkadir Rahis, I cannot find the right words to express my appreciation for the opportunity to serve as your Aide and more importantly for the spirit of brotherhood you shared with me although our memorable years of togetherness. Your decision to terminate my appointment is well accepted and in good faith and I found nothing wrong in your decision. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Mighty Thanks to all for the calls, messages and sincere show of brotherhood spirit.

BUKAR KURAMA (TANDA)"

If you read this and still support bihari in sabotaging Nigeria and Nigerians, it will not end well for you.

Pigs, As if he said anything wrong. Isn't Dan Fodio and Ottoman an Islamic Hero?

religion is niger biggest blockage

Eleribu!!!
Since you're now jobless, you can blow yourself up too and go meet your hero.

Terrorists sympathizers all over the place.

What else do you expect from quota system cretins...

Meanwhile Simplyleo after feeding on Igbo threads below..

One of their own spotted.
This Northerns are just deceiving themselves they kwn the truth & kwn what to do, if they are to eliminate BH from history without trace they can do it, they are their own sympathizer, their sponsorer, they think that are doing us but not knowing they are destroying their future & their unborn children's Future.
They will kill themselves, eat their own flesh & drink their own blood, since they don't want Nigerians to live in peace.
During Jonathan's time, when he said that the BH was in the government, we taught he doesn't kwn what he was saying or referring to, it's becoming clearer to us as days goes by.

Why sack the aide, all of una na de same up north......supporting this terrorist, bandits and kidnappers at night but coming to condemn them in the morning....just doing eye service and deceiving us here in the south.

To all those supporting evil in the north, time is coming when honouring yourself will soon be over!

religion is niger biggest blockage

and what position do scammers like you hold in Nigeria?

You must be an eediot to reason as such, even as the person was immediately reprimanded, u still spew this trash? .....

Eye service, political ambition that's what this sacking is all about, nothing more

If he wasn't reprimanded, you will say they r supporting him, now he was sacked, u claimed it's eye service...

Children of hate, what's your probl3m gaangaan?

There is no hypocrisy in this one, very open.

Useless news

All the terrorist sympathizers will be exposed one by one.

Imagine describing someone who has killed thousands as a hero. Shame on all the Fulani northerners sponsoring and patronizing terror. You will all end up like ur hero shekau.

I wonder if d shekau is enjoying d 7 virgins as we speak.

This goes to show that these people have terrorist sympathizers among them.
The Nigerian security forces inclusive.

I think it has become imperative to do thorough background checks on all our military, paramilitary, executive, legislative and the judicial arms of governments at the federal, state and LG levels.

Many among these people are terrorists.

This buffoon up there should have been arrested, interrogated and imprisoned with immediate effect.

Sacking him and allowing him to roam free is dangerous to the society.

he spoke the mind of his principal in the open. thus the sack. his boss didn't expect him to go public with their private discussion

Pls. Can this MAN help us and sack Pantami too. ?

He just parroted what he has been hearing his boss say in private , bringing it to social media is why he is being punished ...They all know without Shekau most of them won't have political jobs today under APC

I fear for what is coming. Shekau is supposedly dead, political terrorism could be dead but the real terrorism has just begun. Nigerians brace up.
I had hoped that a far more deadlier terrorist group like ISWAP would only be restricted to the fringes of lake Chad without finding a foothold on the Nigerian territory till the political jihadists have had enough to conscientiously put an end to Bokoharam which they had formed for a political reason.
ISWAP having found a better, safer, bigger, more conducive fortress in Sambisa, Nigeria military is just about to bleed more than ever before.
Unlike Bokoharam, ISWAP goes for the hardest of targets, Nigeria military have been excruciatingly hit and have suffered the worst by a number of ISWAP attacks recorded since the fight against terrorism.
In hindsight, If those at the corridors of power who are rather sympathetic like Tanda, Pantami & co, knew that ISWAP would swoop in on Bokoharam and take out Shekau, most probably, would have drafted an Army division to fortify Sambisa.
ISWAP has no allegiance to any Nigerian actors, politicians or traditional rulers, neither do they have time for propaganda videos as Shekau. ISWAP wants to establish an Islamic Caliphate, ready to take out anyone along the way.
Allowing them an entrance into Sambisa will be the greatest mistake Nigeria has ever made. The next few months are pregnant.

Hold on, Maybe he was Been sarcastic.

They have started manifesting themselves

He has revealed himself

Eleribu!!!

na Northerners you won try ni his job is very safe for him,he would get his job back

The Buka Tanda of a guy just voiced out what every sane Nigerian knows all along that 90% of the northeners are sympathetic to the book haram.

Shekau is buhari's role model
