THE leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, must have celebrated when a suicide bomber blew himself up and killed 47 students at the assembly ground of the Government Senior Science Secondary School in Potiskum, Yobe State, on Monday, November 10, 2014.

Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, must have been dizzy with joy on receiving news of the catastrophe for the single reason that it was a gift — never mind that it was a diabolical one from the pit of hell — with which he could accuse President Goodluck Jonathan of insensitivity and callousness when the latter formally declared his intention to seek re-election the next day.

Undeterred, Jonathan went ahead with his declaration. Expectedly, Lai Mohammed wasted no time in screaming “utterly insensitive and absolutely callous.” It is a wonder that this devotee of the Nazi propagandist, Josef Goebbels, could not find more adjectives with which to ostensibly criticise the President while, in actual fact, he was celebrating the unfortunate death of the Potiskum students. Lai Mohammed even accused Jonathan of “dancing on the graves of the students”, but not once did he condemn the terrorists behind the suicide bomb attack.

In the past, the APC has been accused of either funding or at least supporting the nefarious Boko Haram group that has been waging an insurgency against the Nigerian state in order to establish an Islamic caliphate in its stead. Some of us publicly averred that such accusations were a case of dirty politics taken too far. How, we asked, could the APC be in cahoots with those who seek to destroy the Nigerian state? If the insurgents were to succeed, of what benefit would that be to the APC or its members? Regrettably, one has been forced to have a rethink today.

To be clear, the resurgent state of bomb blasts that culminated in the Potiskum attack is just too much for even the most naive Nigerian to accept as mere coincidence. In recent times, APC presidential aspirants, ranging from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, through former military dictator General Muhammadu Buhari, to Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and publisher-turned-politician Sam Nda-Isaiah, have all held events to declare their intention to vie for the presidency. No bomb blasts were recorded. But as soon as Jonathan announced the date of his formal declaration, the bombs started going off. Fellow Nigerians, who is fooling whom?

We can run from pillar to post, or we can face up to what is self-evident to every discerning Nigerian: there is a clear connection between terrorist attacks whenever the President is scheduled to hold or attend a political event and the readiness of the APC propaganda machine to issue exploitative statements that condemn the President, but never the terrorists. It is now beyond any reasonable doubt that the APC is sympathetic to, if not in support outright of Boko Haram. Indeed, it appears Lai Mohammed even prepares the statement ahead of any terrorist attack and then releases it soon after.

Interestingly, nobody should forget that when former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, left the APC and rejoined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he had some remarkable revelations to share about his erstwhile APC colleagues. In one statement, Fani-Kayode told Nigerians: “The APC in the North is the political wing of Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria. This, I have said before and no one amongst them was bold enough to challenge me. I will continue to say it again and again. The northern elements in the APC have to explain to all Nigerians why some of their leaders in the North support, encourage and defend Boko Haram members.”

Fani-Kayode went on to add: “No member of the APC has been bold enough to controvert what I said about their relationship with the Boko Haram members in the North. I stand to be challenged if any of them has a contrary view.”

Moreover, it is a matter of public record that Lai Mohammed not only opposed the United States of America classifying Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation, more importantly, he also actively protested the proscription of Boko Haram by the Federal Government of Nigeria in June 2013. In view of how much pleasure he takes in glorifying the dastardly acts of the despicable terrorist group, the reason for Lai Mohammed’s protestations is crystal clear.

Now, if an ordinary Nigerian like this writer can so easily deduce that some senior members of the APC are Boko Haram supporters and sympathisers, the question then arises: Why has the government not arrested them and prosecuted them according to the law? Could it be that the government of President Jonathan does not want to be accused of stifling the opposition, especially in the run-up to a general election?

Whatever the case may be, the facts are plain for Nigerians to see. Lai Mohammed and his APC colleagues are always prepared with exploitative propaganda condemning President Jonathan whenever terrorists strike.

However, they typically never condemn the terrorists. This reveals clearly who is dancing on the graves of slain Nigerians. Despite their well-crafted propaganda designs, Nigerians have a duty to their nation to reject Boko Haram, their funders, supporters and sympathisers at the 2015 polls.

Lie Mohammed has a PHD in lieing...i wonder why person go born picking name am LIE.

Anyways, Terror in Nigeria has taken a higher dimension beyond PDP and APC...while they tea party and trade blames the cancer is spreading.

Abeg, i have a question, If America, U.K and France are fighting Isis and they have not been able to conquer them with all the sophistications, How can Naija with obsolette arms fight bokoharam? INDEED, Isis is taking new territories in Iraq and recruiting more. its a global network advancing forcefully and the financiers are mega rich.

Naija people thinks Bokoharam is a PDP or APC affair. Politicians built Bokoharam but it has gone rogue and weigh beyond them...I cant wait for election to finish....If APC wins, their first disappointment to Nigerians will be their inability to stop Boko boys....Only NIGERIANS CAN STOP IT WHEN WE ADOPT THE EBOLA APPROACH.

Detained leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta, Mr. Henry Okah, has insisted that President
Goodluck Jonathan’s agents sponsored the March 15, 2010 and
October 1, 2010 bombings in Warri and Abuja respectively for
political considerations.
Okah made the allegation in a 194-paragraph affidavit deposed
to in the South Gauteng High court in Johannesburg, South
Africa in Case No: A570/10.
The allegations first came to light in an interview Okah granted
Arabic satellite television, Aljazeera , in October 2010, weeks after
the blast. In the interview, he blamed the attacks on Jonathan’s
aides and claimed he was arrested for refusing to influence
MEND, to retract its claim of responsibility.
Since then, Okah has been denied bail at least twice, with one at
the South Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, where he is filing
a new application for bail based on “new facts.”
The sworn affidavit was expected to be filed at the court
between Tuesday and Wednesday as part of his renewed bid to
secure bail, after spending more than one year in a South
African jail.
His trial is set to start on October 1, 2012, exactly two years
after a devastating blast that occurred less than a kilometre
from the Eagle Square in Abuja, where Jonathan was attending
Nigeria’s 50th anniversary.
He said the March 2010 car bomb blast (which he said occurred
on March 14, 2010) at the Government House Annex, Warri,
where South-South governors were attending an amnesty
meeting, was intended to pave the way for the removal of Delta
State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, and his replacement by
the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe.
“It is my belief that President Goodluck Jonathan’s government
working with a faction of MEND planned and executed the
bombings of 14 March 2010 and 1 October 2010.
“The purpose of the 14 March 2010 bombing in my opinion was
to create an atmosphere of insecurity in Niger Delta where
President Goodluck Jonathan at that time, was fighting to oust
the governor Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan whom President
Goodluck Jonathan intended to replace with his Minister for
Niger Delta, Mr Godsday Orubebe,” Okah said in the affidavit.
On the Independence Day bombing, which claimed 10 lives,
Okah said it was meant to sway public opinion against the North
and some of its leaders who were planning to run against
Jonathan in the April 2011 presidential election.
Okah has been held at the Johannesburg Prison since October 2,
2010, and is currently standing trial for alleged involvement in
the October 1 bomb attack.
He alleged that Jonathan was upset when MEND claimed
responsibility for the October 1 attack, against a plan to blame it
on Northern elements.
[b] He stated, “The bombings of 1 October 2010 were also intended
by President Goodluck Jonathan government to create anti-North
sentiments nationwide in order to galvanize support from other
sections of Nigeria against other Northern candidates in the
Presidential election.
“Under the arrangement, MEND, I believe, was not to claim
responsibility for the bombings which the Nigerian government
hoped to pin on General Babangida and other Northern
elements. The claim of responsibility by the central group for a
bombing, possibly carried out by a faction of MEND, punctured
the plans of President Goodluck Jonathan to round up his
opposition and hold them in custody until after the elections.”
He claimed to have come under pressure from some of
Jonathan’s aides to get MEND to retract its claim of
responsibility for the bombing, recalling that his “refusal to
cooperate in this scheme resulted in President Goodluck
Jonathan placing a call to President Jacob Zuma during the
evening of 1 October 2010, requesting President Zuma’s personal
assistance in securing my arrest. My noncooperation was
interpreted by President Goodluck Jonathan as support for the
Northern politicians. [/b]

How can you get peace when you are part and parcel of bombing innocent people to get sympathy?
