Alh. Atiku Abubaklar, APC and the Politics of Boko Haram,

Alh. Atiku Abubaklar, APC and the Politics of Boko Haram It is no secrete that right from the inception of President Jonathan’s regime that some hard-line elements in the North swore that they would make the governance of Nigeria for Jonathan a living hell! It is also no secrete that the newly formed opposition party has never in clear terms come out to support President Jonathan in stopping the terrorists that have killed and mimed thousands of Nigeria citizens as well as wanton destructions of properties and has delved Nigeria economy a serious blow especially that of the North East. In fact based on what the opposition have said and acted a large number of citizens cannot safely vouch that remotely the opposition has nothing to do with the insurgent. What is more when the terrorist were apparently having upper hand various organs and prominent members of the opposition taunt the President. Some said that he may not have given all the money budgeted for defense to defense up to the point of asking for a possible probe of the President! Some members of the opposition also said that the terrorist are more equipped than our military and attributed that to corruption! The opposition claimed that they are the only ones who have solution as regard how to deal with the terrorists! However just because the opposition has seen that the military has finally showed its muscle to deal with the insurgent, Alh Atiku Abubaka who had prior to now taunted the President and the military along with his party apparently didn’t know what else to do or say instead of summoning the courage to commend the President, he only came up with a miserly statement that he knew that the Nigeria military is capable of dealing with the insurgents! It is however expected that Alh. Atiku Abubakar would promptly revert back to his and his party position if for any reason the fortune of the Nigeria military as regard Boko Haram dwindles! It is my honest advice to opposition and Alh. Atiku Abubaka in particular that why we are desirous of real strong opposition in Nigeria but the opposition must have character and place the general survival of our country above personal and partisan interest at all time. Why criticisms are welcomed at all times but it must be purposeful and responsible. Any party or persons speaking from both sides of his mouth can’t be trusted no matter how the persons or the party tries. We must all join hands and save our dear country instead of employing ruinous opposition tactics.
