The presidency on Saturday reacted sharply to statements credited to former President Olusegun Obasanjo that President Goodluck Jonathan should blame himself for not handling the menace of Boko Haram well.

Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, said Obasanjo had earlier accused the President of using force and later he (Obasanjo) faulted the use of force.

He said, “As far as the President is concerned, he does not take Obasanjo’s statement as something that is serious because the former President has unlimited access to him if he wants to proffer advice.

“If Obasanjo said what he said, we will just tolerate him because the other time, he said force should be used and he turned back to say dialogue must be used.

“Now, he is saying another thing. He is becoming confusing. I think the old man is becoming confused. The fact is that the insecurity issue started even during Obasanjo’s regime. It did not start with Jonathan’s regime.”

Gulak said the present administration was focused on confronting insecurity through the use of intelligence.

He said Jonathan had resolved not to use brutal force against innocent citizens.

“The security agencies are deploying intelligence. The culprits are being arrested and arraigned in courts of law. Bomb manufacturing outfits are being identified and destroyed. That is the best way to go about it and the government is doing so reasonably,” he said.

Obasanjo had in an interview with the pan-African magazine, New African, said Jonathan was mismanaging security issues engulfing the country.

He said, “If the President is the chief security officer of the country and there is a security problem, where do you go for the solution?

“And if that solution is not coming from the chief security officer, who has everybody and can mobilise everybody inside and outside to get a solution, then he has the responsibility to solve the problem. And nobody else should be blamed but him.”

My people, this is what we call "mma iru n'abo", this is a very common trait...Reasons why these people can't be trusted

Baba Iyabo, dem say you are confused sir.. Over to you.. But why are you confused na?

And the drama continues...

confusion or no-confusion on the security issue of nigera. I think the individual performance(OBJ and GEJ) on security should be used to Jugde.

The former President is not
Confused.Obasanjo is speaking as a
Nigerian and for the silent majority
who have no access to the
media.President Goodluck Jonathan
needs to focus on moving Nigeria forward. President Jonathan needs
to know and understand
Governance

What do OBJ want this guy to do, since nrth wants to destroy north let's allow them.
The SS SW SE in that zone should just relocate.

Tolexander: confusion or no-confusion on the security issue of nigera. I think the individual performance(OBJ and GEJ) on security should be used to Jugde.

Please clarify this, OBJ used full military force on ODI people because five police men was killed. Now the same OBJ is canvassing for dialogue with boko haram that have killed over 78 police men, 48 military men, and over 3,000 innocent Nigerians. It is very shameful that Nigeria today have failed to rise above ethnic hatred.
