Following the spate of bombing and abduction perpetrated by the
deadly terrorists group, Boko haram since 2011, some Ex-militant leaders
in Ondo state under the third phase of Amnesty programme has laid the
blame on the door steps of some Northern leaders.
The ex-agitators
stated that rather than attacking the personality of President Goodluck
Jonathan for the activities of the terrorists, Nigerians should seek to
know the role played by some prominent Northern leaders in the
emergence of Boko haram in Northern Nigeria.
Speaking at the end
of a state of the nation meeting by ex-warlords in the Niger-Delta
struggle in Ore town, Odigbo council area of Ondo state at the weekend,
the ex-agitators said they were ready to expose every Northern leader
behind the Boko Haram sect.
The leader of the group, Boro Opukutu who read the resolutions of the
meeting to newsmen, said ex-agitators in the Niger-Delta were battle
ready to protect their kinsman, President Jonathan against his
detractors and the enemies of his government.
Others at the
meeting included; Fiyeboh Joakimu ( a.k.a Gen Gbaigbai), Mike Atelemoh
(Gen. Fire for fire), Mid-west Ikuenogbon and Posi Serun (Gen. Osaisai).
Opukutu
said those who are blaming President Jonathan for the deadly attacks
carried out by Boko haram sect were ignorant of the happenings in the
Northern part of Nigeria which was a deliberate move to stop Jonathan to
seek re-election as allowed by the Constitution.
He said people
should not blame the President for his peaceful approach to the security
challenge facing the country, adding that not everyone could use force
like former President, Olusegun Obasanjo did in Odi town during his
tenure.
He
however vowed that nothing could stop Jonathan from accomplish the good
work he is currently doing as Nigeria President, while he will also
compliment the transformation agenda with a re-election in 2015.
He
described President Jonathan as the most competent, most experienced
and most hard working President ever presided over the affairs of the
country, stressing that he must be allowed to finish the job in 2019.
“The
question Nigerians should ask is why the Northern leaders like Gens.
Mohammed Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar have refused
to meet with leaders of the Boko Haram sect like President Jonathan did
meet with leaders of Movement for the Emancipation of Niger-Delta
(MEND), Niger-Delta Volunteers Force (NDVF) and other militant groups
during the Niger-Delta struggle?” Opukutu queried.
