Tinubu Flays Obanikoro Over Insecurity!! by WIZGUY69(m): 8:28am On Jul 02, 2014
former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has
questioned the competence of the Minister of State for Defence,
Musliu Obanikoro, in addressing the insecurity plaguing the country.
In a speech made available to our correspondent, Tinubu said
Obanikoro had spent more time playing politics rather than facing the
job he was appointed to do.
He said that during the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti State,
Obanikoro was seen playing politics when he should have been in
Chibok, Maiduguri, where over 200 girls were kidnapped by terrorists.
The All Progressives Congress leader said, “The Minister of State for
Defence has spent more time in Ekiti than he has in Chibok. This is
not responsible democratic governance. It is a hoax.”
He added, “Boko Haram is an extreme manifestation of the chronic
and acute misrule that has spread gross injustice and mass poverty
across the face of our beloved nation.
“All nations have their wayward souls. However, in better governed,
more prosperous societies, the number of anti-social actors is much
less and even their extremism is somewhat muted.
“Because of their low numbers, they are confined to being a law
enforcement problem.
“But here, abject poverty swells their ranks. Here, they have become a
small army. With that, they are a national security threat and a
political challenge to a free and open society.”
However, Obanikoro described Tinubu’s statement as unbecoming of a
former governor.
The former senator, in a statement signed by his media aide, Ohimai
Amaize, said that rather than assisting the Federal Government in
tackling insecurity, Tinubu was using the opportunity to play politics.
He added that Tinubu had yet to recover from the trauma of the
defeat his party suffered in the Ekiti election.
He said, “It is unfortunate that people like Tinubu have chosen to
politicise our war against the Boko Haram insurgency. To begin with,
the mess we are trying to clean up was created by the opposition
which had promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for this
administration.
“If I have a political campaign, anywhere in the country to participate
in, I will go there. It does not in any way affect my responsibility as a
Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In other advanced
societies, their leaders deal with their security issues without reducing
it to politics.
“Leadership is multi-dimensional and I am combining politics with my
governance responsibilities.”

Till Jona-daft stops putting square pegs in round hole there'll be no hope for the foolish Nigerian masses.

Obanikoro's appointment is purely political, the guy is as brainless as Jona-daft.
