Jonathan Solicits Obasanjo To Help Tackle Boko Haram by Afriface: 10:46pm On Aug 27, 2014
It started like a big joke, but today Boko Haram has become a monster that is seen as more powerful and well motivated than the Nigerian military

After realizing that Boko Haram has started taking over Nigerian villages and towns in broad daylight, President Goodluck Jonathan invited ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo to a meeting in Aso Rock on Wednesday where they discussed the nation’s security challenge and how to help.

Obasanjo told in Abeokuta on his return from Abuja that the meeting was purely on security matters:

“Yes, I can confirm that I met with Mr. President on his invitation. In fact, he had wanted to come down to Abeokuta, but as a sign of respect to the Office of the President, I had to go. We had discussion on the country’s security issues and that is all.”

The former president said he would continue to make himself available on national issues in the interest of peace and progress of the entire country.

On the recurrent Eggon/Fulani crisis in Nasarawa, Obasanjo called on government of Benue and Nasarawa to ensure that peace was restored to the warring communities, as it is their responsibility to do so.

In his words, “There is no way such will not happen, but the two state governments should come up with lasting solutions. The farmers would want their crops to be protected, while the cattle men will also want their cattles to feed. So, the government should fashion out peaceful means to end the crisis.”

Obasanjo has promised to help end the Boko Haram madness if the Presidency won't sabotage his efforts.
