NOW THESE LIES MUST STOP

NOW THESE LIES MUST STOP

'' First they said APC is made up of failed politicians and rascals. When APC began to wax stronger despite their gambit and lies, they started insinuating that APC has links with Boko Haram. Infact, they claim that APC is funding Boko Haram. Soon and in their own very eyes they tagged APC a Boko Haram party. Now this is the greatest danger. If you tell a lies a thousand times, some ignorant people will begin to see it as true. Now these lies must stop.

Let us start with the history of kidnapping and hostage taking in Nigeria. It all started when PDP governors in the Niger Delta started arming gangs and cults to steal elections for them. After election, these gangsters used the guns to start a ferocious act of insecurity that blossomed into general insecurity that has crippled many states in Nigeria today.

On Boko Haram, let us recall it started during the tenure of late President Yar’Adua when PDP boasted of having an unlimited control of the country with a vast number of states in its control. Then, there was no APC and PDP rumbled from one end of the country to another. As this became worrisome, Yar’Adua rounded up the leader of Boko Haram and killed and this led to a declaration of war by Boko Haram. Because Jonathan and his handlers believed that it can con sympathy from Nigerians, it did nothing and allowed Boko Haram to overwhelm the country’s security. Meanwhile, Nigerians still recall the advent of bombing in Abuja when an Independence Day bomb incidence shattered the peace of Abuja. Jonathan and his handlers, playing desperately to its deadly politics of benefitting from the woes of the country, blamed it on its opponents, even when MEND claimed responsibility for the incidence. Later, Raymond Dokpesi was alleged to be behind the bombing. Today, Nigerians still ask what happened to the investigation on that incidence or had it been buried in PDP’s deep labyrinth of conspiracy?

The late General Azazi, former National Security Adviser to the president told Nigerians at the beginning that Boko Haram was a product of PDP’s infighting and struggle for political office and supremacy. As the National Security Adviser and a kinsman of Jonathan and a retired five star General, the late Azazi knew his terrain and domain very well. He understood the game very well, he was familiar with this kind of movements and struggles, he understood the job and he had information from above and below. So when he said that Boko Haram was a product of PDP’s craze for power was that accusation investigated? Did anybody take him serious? Was he given the chance to prove his case? No they did not. They sacked him as NSA and the man eventually died under questionable circumstances in a plane crash.

Have we recalled that Senator Ali Ndume a PDP senator was once quizzed for Boko Haram allegations and he swore to an affidavit that Vice President Namadi Sambo approved his contacts with Boko Haram. Pray what had a government that steals trillions of Naira every year on the guise of security votes but which believes that its opponents must carry its cross, do about this grievous allegation?

We have seen this type of game plan before in the days of the locust. The late General Abacha threw bombs in Lagos and went ahead to arrest the Yoruba leaders and accused them of being responsible for the crime. When Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered also by Abacha agents of death, the same Abacha gave orders that some prominent Yoruba leaders for the heinous crime. This is the way of dictators all over the world. ''
