The All Progressives Congress has challenged the Federal Government to not only expose, but also prosecute sponsors of the Boko Haram Sect.
National Chairman of the party, Chief John Oyegun, threw this challenge at a press briefing on the state of the nation, in Abuja, on Thursday.
He was responding to a pronouncement by the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, would not hand over power to sponsors of the sect.
Akpabio, had while addressing supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, during President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration, said, “The opposition is fighting a selfish war; they are coming to distablise Nigeria. We will not hand over this country to blackmailers; we will not hand over this country to sponsors of terrorism.”
In response, Oyegun said, “A few days ago, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State pronounced that they were not going to handover to sponsors of Boko Haram. PDP knows who the sponsors of Boko Haram are, why are they not tackling them? Why are they not arraigning them before the courts of law?
“Tell us who are those behind this? The Boko Haram issue is now being exploited for political advantage. The more they are allowed to progress, the more the people of this nation will feel the necessity to cling to the apron strings of a failed government.
“Who is profiting? Who stands to benefit if three APC states are unable to effectively participate in the elections come February 15? Why is it that they (PDP) have repeatedly made this endless claim that they know those who are behind Boko Haram?”
He wondered why the insurgents could capture Mubi with ease. Oyegun asked why troops were withdrawn from the town shortly before the capture of the town.
The national chairman asked the federal government to wipe out the insurgents if that is what is required to end the insurgency. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

PDP and GEJ, the ball is on your court now. If truly you know the sponsors which I believe you do, ARREST and PROSECUTE them or forever remain silent. APC has challenged you. If you can not do that, then you are not fit to continue leading this country beyond 29th May, 2015.
ReplyDeleteIdiotic Akpabio who is reeling in his perceived development of Akwa Ibom to speak nonsense! Does having a big mouth with thick lips give anyone the right to keep noisily about u realities? Yes, he has built over-head bridges, stadium, but does these translate to putting food on the table of the average Akwa Ibom citizen? If PDP and Akpabio know the sponsors of Boko Haram, why not arrest them? We cannot be fooled by this cheap talks to gain cognizance.
ReplyDeleteNigeria politicians, why are you quick to forget history. Are you not the same people that condemned the Military rule, see how you are handling democracy now. The blood of hero of democracy will not forgive you.
ReplyDeletePDP take up the challenge, root out the enemies of the nation, we need peace. If after this challenge nothing is done, then, you are making foul noise.
What a challenge! We know the government knows nothing is just a political jack shit. They have been lying to us about their knowledge in everything. Either they say know girls we're kidnaped or they have killed BH leader or they have arranged cease fire with BH look they have never been truthful about anything.
