The Governor of Kano State and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has criticised President Goodluck Jonathan’s inability to bring to an end the Boko Haram insurgency.
Kwankwaso argued that the ongoing crisis should not be about identifying people behind the extremist Islamist militants but that focus should be on ending the insurgency.
The APC chieftain also accused the President of insulting Nigerians and the opposition party on television stations.
“Government, especially the Commander-in-Chief, must stop. I find it very insulting to see those who have failed in their primary assignments insulting us on Nigerian Television Authority and other television stations, wearing uniforms, comparing themselves to and pretending to be like first-class leaders such as Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela and other leaders who have protected their people. Many of us are beginning to wonder whether we have a Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces or a Commander-in-Chief of NTA.
“Let me take the opportunity to comment on the issue raised by Governor Rochas Okorocha, on the issue of Boko Haram.
“To me and many of us who are very close to the frontline, the issue is not who is Boko Haram and who is not Boko Haram. The issue is not the party which supports or the party which does not support; the issue is that some people have taken up arms. And from our side we believe whether these people belong to Party A or Party B, whether anybody is supporting or not supporting is not the issue,” Kwankwaso posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
According to the Kano governor, the issue is about Jonathan, as the country’s commander-in-chief, to stop the insurgents’ atrocities and killings of innocent citizens.
