The Senator representing Lagos West Senatorial District, Solomon Adeola, said on Friday that the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, was wrong in his comparison of the activities of Boko Haram insurgency during the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and the bomb blasts recorded in some parts of the country recently.

Adeola, in a statement by his Media Adviser, Chief Kayode Odunaro, in Abuja, also said Ekweremadu should not play partisan politics with the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in recent times.

The deputy president of the Senate, had, on Thursday, expressed concern over the current spate of Boko Haram attacks in the country at a “time that government should be talking of a redevelopment plan to rebuild the North-East since the last administration had almost rolled back the insurgency before handing over on May 29.”

But Adeola described Ekweremadu’s comparative narrative on the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks as reported in some newspapers on Friday, as a partisan mindset of one playing politics with insurgency.

He said, “It is very worrisome that Senator Ekweremadu, who has been a presiding officer of the Senate under the PDP administration since the inception of Boko Haram about six years ago, will expect the insurgency that his party and PDP administration could not resolve to be eradicated by Buhari in six weeks.

“I believe his comparison of recent attacks under Buhari with that of outgone Peoples Democratic Party administration is informed by partisan considerations of exonerating the PDP from the mess left behind by 16 years of PDP rule.

“It is regrettable that Senator Ekweremadu could come to the conclusion that Boko Haram insurgency has worsen in the last few weeks in comparison to thousands of civilians and military lives lost, destruction of communities as well as the national agony and ordeal of the yet to be resolved missing Chibok girls under the PDP administration.”

Adeola noted that what should be paramount on the minds of all Nigerians now is how to put an end to the insurgency permanently which, according to him, was not going to be an overnight assignment.

He added that Buhari and the security agencies were already working out strategies to curtail the focus of Boko Haram attacks on “soft targets” in recent times.

The senator said the insurgents resorted into bombing when it was obvious that the military had weakened them in the battle field where they hitherto had territorial control.

at bold,
what else can be true of that.
But, we shouldn't leave the leper for ringworm. Let's face the real issue and not serve table.

Obvious truth.

nerodenero:
Obvious truth.

Truth but he is still a presiding officer in the current administration. The decepticon conveniently ommited that. Was Adeola not informed by partisan sentiments too for failing to accept that Ekweremadu is STILL a presiding officer?

But buhari said he would stop boko haram or didn't he?

Instead of north to defend dia son they pass d job to dia slaves. See hw Garba shehu is jst resting while femi Adesina is sweating

Where in the article was it stated that Adeola does not know the position of Ekweremadu in the Senate? Or, did u leave your thinking cap somewhere else while you came on here?

The deputy senate president spoke the truth . Why should APC be worried about his statement? That's was what they did thru out GEJ regime; politicizing BH

Who is this one senator Adeola, where does she or he come from? Let it be known to all that Ekweremadu has said the truth and nothing but the truth. It is bitter when it hits people like Adeola. Gej drove. BH out of NIGERIA'S territory and handed over governance to Buhari... Because Buhari has a soft spot for and. he's a staunch supported of same BH, they returned. Can't you see that roads are no more blocked, can't you see that BH detainees are being released? Can't you see that soldiers now protect cattle rustlers instead of fighting BH? Can't you see that efforts are being made to spread BH activities to SE ,SS and SW by exportation? Don't you hear that some BH members are challenging their incarceration instead of the reverse? Adeola , you are the one being partisan, may be you are looking for favour from Buhari or you don't even know why you are in that NASS in the first place At your age we expect you to say the truth always., Ekweremadu has demonstrated that

A slave defending his master even when the truth is starring him in the face. Ekweremadu said the truth. Since the inception of Buhari's government, Boko Haram is gaining more territory by the day.

ok

APC and lies
Make I kukuma relax for my jacuzzi

Solomon Adeola aka Yayi
Yayi ni,Yayi ni jare

God my lord!!!!


See smackdown!!!!


A whole ekweremadu

Boko Haram is a product of PDP bad governance inherited by APC, yet they are blaming APC for not eradicating Boko Haram within just 8 weeks.
Before you quote me and begin to wail read the following:
Boko Haram are our brothers ~GEJ
Boko Haram is PDP and PDP is Boko Haram~General Azazi

It seems like no Nairaland comments section will be complete without somebody poking jokes at the president or depicting him in caricature. While this is indicative of our progress as a democratic society, sometimes however, it seems a bit much. Many of us may think we are just another username online so therefore we can post insensitive comments we wouldn't post if were to use our real names and real pictures. Don't run loose in this false sense of anonymity, these politicians have in their arsenals some of the best hackers and can fish out anyone if they are very determined to do so. I'm not saying you shouldn't exercise your freedom of speech, i'm all for that, but just be mindful of how you portray others online.

ok na

Its obvious BH is boming more than before

Let attack what PMB said about BH years back

Ekweremadu is just as useless as GEJ. So the man now got megaphone to speak about the boko haram issue when he has been there doing nothing since all these bad years of PDP. I tell u some of our leaders re just useless. I wonder how they managed to get to these positions they re occupying with their fish brains. If the man has genuine things to say sambisa forest is not too far. Boko boys will patiently listen to him. Rubbish

Lie, GEJ left us with BH.
The same GEJ promise to end BH in two weeks bafore the presidential elections.

Ekweremadu is high on cheap weed

kettykings:
But buhari said he would stop boko haram or didn't he?

buhari is not a magician..... DO u expect him to repair what d clueless one spot in 6 yrs in just 2 months? Dude be realistic naa don't be as clueless an jona

Ekweremadu didn't say it cos Buhari hasn't found a solution to the insurgency... He said it cos the rate at which the Book Haram attack has increased is alarming compared to the fact that during the last few weeks of GEJ's administration he was gaining the upper hand against d boko haramists...
