PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, are fighting for justice.

According to him, many Nigerians feel aggrieved and seek various means of airing their grievances.

Tukur, who spoke in Abuja on Tuesday when he received members of the party from Gombe State, said there must be justice in the country for peace to reign.

He however regretted that the activities of the sect were preventing some northerners from travelling to their home states.

Tukur said there was no way angry people would control their anger when there was nothing on their stomachs.

He said, “Let there be peace in the North so that we can have security.

“We can’t even travel again because of the insecurity in the region. Boko Haram is fighting for justice. Boko Haram is another name for justice.

“People feel aggrieved. They are angry because they are hungry. Unless we remove the hunger, we too may not be able to rest.

“We should remember that a child who says his mother would not sleep will also not sleep.”

The former governor of old Gongola State said he accepted to be honoured by the members of the party from the North-East on Saturday in his village because he wanted people know that things were not working well with the people in rural areas.

He said, “People would be wondering why I took the reception to my village in Jada. And they would be asking why not a place like Abuja, where we have good roads and all that.

“I did so, so that people would know what is happening in rural areas. Those that were there must have seen the bad roads. We must help people who cannot help themselves.

“That is why we are in government. You cannot do anything unless you are committed to it. We must build this party on equity and justice.”

Earlier, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwanbo, who led the delegation said the members came to show their loyalty to the leadership of the party.

Pls does this mean Bamanga Tukur believes in the course of bh fighters? Bearing in mind he is a pdp chieftain.

Should this have come from GMB, the Jonagoons would have cascaded it but now no 1 is saying a damp thing.

His a$$ must be jealous of his mouth right now......
cuz of the shiitt dropping from the mouth

To be honest, i think he has a point there. I have stayed in the north for a while and the level of poverty there is alarming. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few individual, while the vast majority live in nearly sub human conditions. They can hardly afford to eat once a day, talk less of three times a day. And worst of all, is the fact that most of them have little or no hope of improving their conditions as there is little or no employment opportunities.
If a young man in such a condition is promised riches and an opportunity to improve on his impoverished status, on the condition that he wields arms against the government that has done nothing for him, he may find it hard to refuse.
First militancy came, now insurgency. After insurgency, who knows what will come next. The root cause of these menaces can be traced to poverty. Until poverty is tackled and reduced to the barest minimum, it will be difficult for Nigeria to have a peaceful existence. As the popular cliche goes, a hungry man is an angry man.
I rest my case.

Madness in it's peak. Tukur

Bamangar, then let the bokos file behind you forward match to abuja and state their grieviances.

What business is justice with killing ?

kkkkkkkk

We are in real trouble if the national chairman of the ruling party said those things. Lends credence to the argument of those who believe the government is playing a part in fuelling the insurgency.

Madness in it's peak. Tukur

hmm

I think hé needs to have himself checked. How do you explain the killing and maiming of innocent citizens justice? #Rubbish

This man should be sacked! How can he say BH r fighting for justice, is he not indirectly saying his ruling party is ineffective?

Some people don chop belle full and have nothing important to say!
