[size=15pt]Some people ‘re not happy Jonathan is now defeating Boko Haram[/size]


Minister of Culture and National Orientation and Supervising Minister of Information, Chief Edem Duke speaks on the preparations for the forthcoming election and calls on Nigerians to hold those who are threatening violence if they lose the election accountable. He also speaks on a number of other national issues. Excerpts:

By Ben Agande

Critics claim the government influenced the postponement of the election for selfish reasons. Is that true?

I think all I can say is to reassure Nigerians. When you look at the fact with the shift in the date, it is not an extensive shift. But in-between, you can see that it has afforded the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the opportunity of reaching many more Nigerians.

You can also see that there is a bit of relief, even though, there is great agitation in several parts of the country that people have not got their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs yet.

That people in certain localities have deliberately been deprived of the opportunity of collecting their PVCs. Those issues have been addressed. If you remember the last media chat by the President during which he said that because of the security concerns that the status of the equipment of the Army will improve and he assured that in a few weeks there will be a dramatic change for the better around the terrain where insurgents are operating. You can see that all of these are coming to pass.

What would have been the story if eight million people were not served with PVCs if the insurgency were still prevalent in most parts of the northeast, what would people have said? They would have accused this same government of irresponsibility and insensitivity. But we know that the criticism is only coming from a particular section whose strategy for the campaign is criticism, propaganda and threat.

So it is understandable. But it is to reassure Nigerians that the Federal Government has no ulterior motive, it cannot have, not with the record of achievement that it has as its own collateral for the campaign.

The argument has been that if the government has not been able to decisively tackle insurgency in 6 years, with just few weeks to election, what will the government do differently. Some people have argued that it was a deliberate ploy by the government. What do you have to say?

Lol butthurt remnants of the northern expedition in the eastern hinterlands, throwing paper missiles at their oppressors in the light of imminent re-colonalisation by their fulani determiners. If you think ISIS will differentiate between Hausa and Ibo then . Take a look at their modus operandi and you will know they're not politically motivated boy scouts like BH.

This is the planned map of their take-over. Can you spot Enugu?

You can choose to be foolish by cutting your nose to spite your face, or join hands in electing a President with the capacity to stop these God forsaken Islamists.

You fool.

The only reason you Southwest nematodes scream one nigeria is because when the Niger Delta and Southeast pullout, uthman dan fodio's jihad will be completed.

Rather than brace up and prepeare for war you are showing your foolish obsession over igbos.

Let me tell you something; your arewastan over lords can not dare enter the creeks or the southeast because we have both the guns, money and courage to ressist them.

What exactly are you cowards going to do? Protest in obalende?

There is a reason why your region had no pre colonial ressistance figures because you welcomed the British in order to twart the jihadis breathing down your necks.

The lease has expired and Arewa want their oduastan back.

Cowardly fool
