Some people expected Jonathan to perform miracles under the condition the country was in with insurgency and blackmail all round him.

I have said it several times, no government will put a machinery to discredit its tenure.

These were the main players that worked on the non-self thinking minds of Nigerians...

ElRufai- Twitter and Facebook warrior
Amaechi- Self acclaimed defender of the universe
Sanusi- Whistle blower

Elrufai coined the word Clueless and incompetent in the minds of every Nigerian...

Don't you think there might be a slight advantage in having someone they can relate to negotiate with them if Sharia is the single most important thing to them?

We just have to be open minded

To answer your question, what is the moral behind fighting for sharia and hence shedding innocent blood, raping women/children, causing havoc in the country, etc? How do you relate with or negotiate with blood sucking group of people? People ready to blow themselves up just to ensure others die?

Now what do you want to negotiate about? Turning Nigeria, a circular state, into a Sharia state? Are you for real? If there should be Sharia states, there should be selected states in Nigeria (which there already are) that will practice it. States with reasonable number of practicing Christians or pegans shouldn't be guided by the sharia law. And examples includes: Kaduna, Plateau, Niger, Nassarawa, etc.

Now watch how the likes of Passingshot, omenka, gbawe, beremx, socialmediaman, soe, etc will avoid this thread like a plague. If this is the change you all voted for, then I must say, what a change.

Amnesty for what? What are they agitating for, to islamize people, killing people for nonsense reasons, can you compare their useless agitation to Niger delta people.

It will be our last point of order if we grant Amnesty to Shekau and his Boko haram murdering squad.

They are terrorists and must be tried under the terrorism act or we might as well grant amnesty to all of the criminals, paedophiles and murderers locked away behind bars.

zik4ever:
Newly sworn-in Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, on Friday said his new administration would, among other policies, pursue amnesty for members of Boko Haram who are ready to de-radicalise.

Mr. Shettima, who took an oath of office to serve for yet another four years alongside his deputy, Zannah Mustapha, said he would lobby the new federal government of President Muhammadu Buhari to consider granting amnesty to the militants.

Messrs Shettima and Mustapha were sworn in by the state’s chief judge, Kashim Zannah, at the Ramat Square, amidst tight security mounted by soldiers and police officers.

Mr. Shettima’s second inauguration, although low-key, was attended by guests from within and outside Nigeria.

The governor lamented the plight of the millions of Borno residents squatting at various camps of Internally Displaced Persons at the time he was being sworn-in.

Mr. Shettima said his next four years would be dedicated to rebuilding destroyed and lost communities and also pursuing policies that would create jobs and empower the youths.

“I do not intend to spoil the celebration mood today but I simply cannot ignore the fact that as we are gathered here, looking good and so full of excitement, thousands of our fellow sons and daughters of Borno, old and young, including babies that are few days old, are displaced in their own land and country,” he said.

He added that the sad tales of destructions and the faces of “our displaced sons, daughters, brothers and sisters,” told the true story of Borno today.

The governor, who described his swearing in as “a very special day in the long history of Borno”, said his second mandate was in recognition of the effort his administration made in the past four years, “to touch your lives in several areas of human endeavour”.

He acknowledged, however, that the last four years were certainly some of the most tragic and challenging in the thousand-year history of Borno.

“We have gone through the most savage insurgency of the Boko Haram sect, which massacred thousands of our people; especially destroying the cream of Borno youth and ensuring that into the next generation, we will be faced with a demographic crisis that will challenge our creative ingenuity, to overcome,” he said.

The governor said, in spite of all these, his government still managed to remain focused to build the “basic blocks of development, in agriculture, education and empowerment.”

“And we never for a moment abandoned our people,” Mr. Shettima said. “The people appreciated how we worked with sincerity, with commitment and always defending their best interests.”

Mr. Shettima lambasted the government of Goodluck Jonathan, referring to it as “a hostile Federal Government, which lived in denial about the savagery of Boko Haram and which also saw the insurgency from the most perverted, narrow and irresponsible prism, that somehow, the insurgency had been fuelled against it, by the political and other elites of this part of Nigeria.”

“They therefore did only the barest and most perfunctory, to stem the problem. Meanwhile, our people suffered and our communities were systematically laid to waste,” he said. “Democracy became the saving grace for the people.

“With our votes, we threw out a government at the centre, which did not work in the national interest and have now voted into power, President Muhammadu Buhari, who is also being inaugurated into power today in Abuja.”

Mr. Shettima said the people of Borno now have the opportunity to put their problems before a “listening president, who would be willing to assist us with utmost dispatch, to accelerate our development.”

He said in the next four years, he would need the support of all citizens in the quest to rebuild the devastated communities of Borno state.

He promised an all-inclusive “growth that would focus on reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction – the three Rs.

He also reiterated his readiness to give members of Boko Haram a chance for amnesty.

“Unless we want to engage in an endless war of attrition that will be hallmarked by the continuing destruction of lives and property, it becomes imperative that willing members of the Boko Haram sect that want to come out of the bush must be given the opportunity to be de-radicalized and then rehabilitated to become useful citizens of society,” he said.

“It is never easy to accept back into the community, those who have taken up arms, killed, pillaged, raped and destroyed. But in the long run, society must make very expensive choices for peace, reconciliation and development. We are therefore appealing to the Federal Government of Nigeria and the International Community to assist our endeavour in that regard.”

The same "self denial" that ruined Jonathan's Govt, is exactly what the title of this piece, represents!

How did he "ATTACK JONATHAN"?
So, the man, as a RE-ELECTED Governor of his state, cannot voice his opinion again?

Everything he said up there are 101% CORRECT.

*The day the Chibok girls were abducted, did Jonathan not ignore it and went about dancing Shoki at a campaign rally?
*Did Jonathan not deny that the girls were abducted, up till a few months back?
*Did Jonathan not lie to Nigerians, a day to the presidential election, that the girls have been recovered (The slowpoke even painted a Jet that he said would bring them down to Abuja!
shocked shocked )

Jonathan is a colossal FAILURE and would forever remain one in the eyes of sensible people .... except his clueless clan, TANoids and flattys!
We all know this but since Jonathan's people are not done with him until they push him right inside the Dustbin/Gutter of history (if he is not there sef), they would keep telling him he is the best thing after Meat Pie!



In just a matter of minutes, we have seen how a "true President" deals with issues of national Security, compared to how that Otuoke clown wearing military uniform was genuflecting all about (America will know!! grin grin )
Just imagine, within minutes of being sworn-in, he has taken charge and directed the Army to locate their CentCom to where the war is, not sit in Abuja eating pepper-soup while their rank-and-file Troops are being mowed down in Borno/maiduguri.

That is my "General"! A real General!!

May God never allow the likes of Jonathan to smell anything or anywhere near our presidential Seat.
Good riddance to bad rubbish..... now we can breath "Real Fresh Air"


Lastpage!

BTW: If any of the Boko Boys that have not committed murder, is ready to confess, give useful information to the military and be ready to be rehabilitated (education & trade/work), there is no reason for Buhari not to take that option after-all, some of the Ijaw Militants like Asari Dokubo, Tompolo and hundreds of others have murdered innocent Nigerians and some of our troops in the past...... and were later granted amnesty? Why not these ones?

Source the Geese, source the Gander.


On the other hand, Buhari, unlike that clueless clown from otuoke, is "mentally and strategically capable" of finishing-off Boko Haram or any insurgency from any other part of the country.

Let us wait for the next hundred days and see the strides that Buhari would have taken.
He has done it before, he can do it again...... and l dont want to hear any one "whining or complaining" because it will be harsh. tongue

I disagree totally with your opinion. Can' t u see the handwriting on the wall? This same governor Shettima failed to confirm to the presidency that there was truly abduction of Chibok girls for more than one week after the incidence, yet he was the governor and chief security officer of the state. he obviously did that so that they will cover up all effort to locate the girls. This same man is calling for amnesty for BH. I was not a fan of GEJ but nobody should hold GEJ responsible for BH on-slaughter since this is what the governor want. where were him when GEJ wanted to offer amnesty to BH? It's obvious there is an agenda they want to use BH to achieve up north, more reason they made this man the Chairman of the Northern Governors forum. Buhari should be very careful with these people, Nigeria is sitting on a time bomb and if not properly handled will explode anytime. They think the Southerner's will just fold their arms if Buhari start playing to their script.
