Boko Haram Is Just Messing Up Nigeria Easily
Under Jonathan
APC Says Territorial Claims By The Terrorists Is A
National Embarrassment
The All Progressives Congress has described as a
national embarrassment, the increasing seizure of
Nigerian towns by the terrorist group Boko Haram
and the reported fleeing of 480 Nigerian soldiers
to Cameroon during an attack on a military base
in Gamboru-Ngala on Monday.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the
party called on President Goodluck Jonathan to
urgently address the worsening security situation
in the northern part of the country before it�s
too late.
It said in the face of the biggest threat to
Nigeria�s unity and territorial integrity since the
country�s civil war, Jonathan must put
partisanship aside and rally the nation against
Boko Haram, which seems to be getting bolder
and stronger, to the extent of hoisting its flag
over parts of the nation�s territory.
APC also restated its call for an urgent national
stakeholders� conference on security that will cut
across party lines. It also pledged support for any
sincere effort by the Federal Government to end
the insurgency.
As a first step, the party said President Jonathan
should halt the illegal electioneering campaign by
his Ministers, appointees, supporters, saying
Nigeria must survive as a nation before any party
or individual can rule over it.
