Does President Jonathan Really Need To Beg Northern Senators to Approve Emergency Rule in the North EaSt!?
It is only the Northerners that understand what they are up to about the insurgency going on in the North East! In other words it is only the North and their supporters from the South that understand the game going on about the thousands of lives being wasted in the North in particular and Nigeria in general!
First, Gen. Muhamadu Buhari described the effort of Mr. President to quell the insurgent as an attack on the North!
Second AREWA Consultative forum nearly dragged former Chief of Army Staff to war crime court because of his dogged effort to push Boko haram out of the North!
Northern Senators and House members are now refusing or obstinate in approving President Jonathan’s request for extension of State of emergency!
Emir of Kanu, Lamido Sanusi Lamido is warning President Jonathan to be sincere in fight against Boko Haram!
Northern governors are calling on the President to declare total war on Boko Haram!
It is either that the leaders of the North are damn crazy or are involved in a crazy game only a super genius can understand!
I wonder if President Jonathan can decode this mine field the North is creating because I for one I am at a loss how the President could deal with the North. On one hand the North does not want the insurgency to ever end, what they would get out of that I do not know but one can guess that probably the Northern Muslims wants the North secretly to be Islamized hence talking from both sides of their mouth! On the other hand the North poses as if they want the President to stop fellow Northerners from slitting the throats of fellow Northerners and others as well as busting of pregnant Northern women’s stomach and that of others!
My advice to the President is that he should do as much as he can not only to get the Northern wet ropes to approve an extension of the emergency rule but also to get approval to declare total war on Boko haram that would enable the President to employ the full weight of the Nigeria military to wash away the crazy lunatics called Boko Haram! Where the Norther elements frustrate this effort then the President should not hesitate to pull out the Nigeria military out of the North East but must cordon off the entire North East with a ring of the Nigeria army backed by the full might of the air face and all our surveillance installations! With this since the North East wants a self decimation let them have it. I am damn sure that when they are tired of killing one another they would once more call on the President for help! Perhaps by that time the Senate and the house of representative would be in perpetual hurry to approve what ever the President wants!
