Boko Haram Created To Distract Jonathan- Audu

The former First Lady of Kogi State, Aisha Audu,
on Saturday said the Boko Haram insurgency is
created to distract President Goodluck Jonathan
from implementing positive programmes for
Nigerians.

Dr. Audu Emeje, while addressing journalists in
Washington DC, wondered why the activities of
the sect became known to Nigerians after the
victory of President Jonathan.

The PDP chieftain urged those criticizing
Jonathan’s administration to join hands with
him to tackle the menace.

She said “Criticism can only worsen the
situation; the solution to insurgency is for all of
us to put our hands on deck to solve the
security challenges in Nigeria.

I am a Nigerian and I feel so bad when I hear
that opposition party is criticizing President
Goodluck Jonathan for his failure to tackle
security challenges. Boko Haram insurgency has
gone beyond the control of Nigeria or a political
party’’.

“We must all come together to tackle the
security challenges in Nigeria by putting aside
politics. What gives us the impression that even
if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vacates
the seat of power in Abuja for the opposition
party, the security challenges will be a thing of
the past if not properly tackled now?”
Ambassador Emeje, a former Special Adviser to
Kogi State Government on Investment and
International Relations pledged her
commitment to continue to preach, teach and
encourage peaceful dialogue among the youths
and women groups in Nigeria, Africa and the
entire world.

She added that her heart went out to the
abducted Chibok female students just as she
prayed for their quick release and safe return to
their individual families.

Similarly, Mr. Seyi Adekunle of ‘VODI’ Nigeria
Limited urged the Federal government to
dialogue with members of Boko Haram, saying
'’Federal government, should for human sake
dialogue with Boko Haram.

We are witnessing and hearing killings of
innocent Nigerians by these sect everyday”.

He called on the Federal Government of Nigeria
to adopt policies that could urgently tackle the
menace.

He said, “It is unfortunate that Boko Haram has
invaded the country. I want to appeal to
government to do what it can do to solve the
security challenges. If it requires dialogue to
put an end to the Boko Haram activity, let
Federal Government do it without any delay.”
