[size=13pt]Stop Killing Boko Haram Members – Buhari Tells FG[/size]

Former Head of Military Ruler and Chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents, saying Niger Delta Militants were never killed or properties belonging to them destroyed.
Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored said accused the government of killing and destroying houses belonging to Boko Haram members while the Niger Delta militants get special treatment.
The former dictator said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.
While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.
According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.

“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.

“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.

“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.

“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.

“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.

“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.

“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.
You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.

“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished.
They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.
While fielding questions in English in the same programme, Buhari said that the promoters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) were aware of the challenges ahead of them in an effort to get the party registered, saying “the road to merger is quite rough.

“The ruling party, with its enormous resources and its capacity for coercion has seen it as a threat and they have said it. Personally, I came to realise since 2007 that Nigerians believe that the only way to stabilise the system of multi-party democracy is for the opposition parties that have representatives right from Councillors to the National Assembly come together to deliver their constituencies democratically.
This is the only way you can counter PDP’s enormous physical and material influence in the country”

He expressed optimism that the All Progressive Congress will be registered saying “by nature, I am an optimist. If I were not an optimist, I will not attempt to contest the presidency three times and end up in the Supreme Court three times. I believe we are going to be registered.

“There is a law guiding party registration which states that you must have your headquarters in the nation’s capital that can be identified by INEC and you must have a convention. All the three parties involved have held their conventions and have agreed to forsake our existing parties and go for APC.

“At the national level, we must have those who will run the party. As soon as we meet these criteria and INEC acknowledge that, 30 days after the acknowledgement, we are APC whether INEC write us and give us the registration or not”

Buhari go and sit down for toilet. I think BH are invincible. what did militants look for, and when govt called them did the answer. what can we say about BH, we should all become Muslim abi or may we buy Qur'an give una

Buhari, just like the mosquito advert, "ur own don kpafuka". So, u created boko idiots just to win election. Niger delta militant can neva be compared with boko haram cos they (militants) fought for a just course. What are ur boys fighting for? Do u think we ar going to give those idiots amnesty? Well, u beta run cos we are coming for u.

mainheart: Buhari go and sit down for toilet. I think BH are invincible. what did militants look for, and when govt called them did the answer. what can we say about BH, we should all become Muslim abi or may we buy Qur'an give una

The f00ls said they would be the one to grant Jonathan amnesty, now this goat is spilling more shi*t than a burst sewage tank.

when boko haram nearly killed buhari they accuse the federal government of taking the insurgent with a very soft hand..now jonathan declare full war....they still complain.....mr buhari what do u want jonathan to do oooo.......

buhari and his followers should understand dat there is a difference between militantancy and terrorism.

Howmanage: Well, i kind of agree. They should be brought to justice via the courts. How do we know innocents are not being killed?

in any war there is always 'victim'. How do u bring them to court or do u have a way of achieving that? Lets do it the Algerian style!

Buhari needs to be arrested,tried and jailed at once.bcs it's obvious he's got a cockroach in his cupboard,looking at all his comments since this whole BH poo started

Howmanage: Well, i kind of agree. They should be brought to justice via the courts. How do we know innocents are not being killed?

Are you kidding me?
You want to wait until after a long court case that can be maniputed to fight a full fledged war? Clap for yourself! Sit calmly while your house is on fire!

Buhari is grand patron of bokoharam

Another propaganda..

Real source before I comment




If true am again justified for not supporting APC!

Hmm!

if true, then I'm very disappointed in the man. the Niger-Delta people accepted amnesty na. they were not even killing people anyhow.

what he meant is "stop killing arewa peoples congress(APC)" members. you know BH is their youth wing.
buhari pls cry me a river

But Boko Hram Members can kill unarmed Nigerians? I see ur logic...

Is it not crystal clear that this demon called buhari is one of the sponsors of BH. Thunder fire the mouth he used to make that statement.
Niger delta militant never kidnapped over 200 girls.
Niger delta militant never killed innocent civilians like chickens .
Niger delta militant never had an Islamic caliphate.
Niger delta militant never had a plan to Islamize Nigeria.
Niger delta militant had a genuine reason for their fight, but this bloody bastards don't have any reasonable reason for their fight.

when BH were killing people like chickens why did this rattle snake called buhari not condemn what they were doing?? now that they are killing them he is complaining.

Jona ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What do you expect from a religious bigot like him.
Bloody Jihadist... Kill Them Alll!



TMan.

av been suspecting dis man 4 long

Attention Op;

Please what do you stand to gain by posting a news that was reported atleast 2 years ago ?

Is it to score political point or what ?

What's even wrong with you people, you just love to politicise issues and cause confusion. And you call yourself an intellectual ?

You can't compare the activities and brutality of boko haram 2 years ago and recently.

I have read lots of news recently buhari condeming the activities of boko harram ..
Truly Na all of us dey spoil 9ja one way or the other.

Na una sabi

Wait i dey com.

gunuvi: what he meant is "stop killing arewa peoples congress(APC)" members. you know BH is their youth wing.
buhari pls cry me a river

Abi now. If Shekau is happy his boys are getting their deserved virgins in hell, I see no reason why Buhari should be crying more than the bereaved.

Buhari,may u,ur folowers, ur supporters nd al boko sympathisers end up like d victims of boko haram attacks. May u end up lyk d victims of yanya bomb blast,may ur limbs b cut off nd ur eyes gorge out, may ur wives end up as another man's property nd may ur children b kidnappd nd use as sex slaves. U dare compare militant to boko haram, infact may tears neva run dry 4rm ur cheeks so dat u can undastand wot those people went tru.

kentus07: when boko haram nearly killed buhari they accuse the federal government of taking the insurgent with a very soft hand..now jonathan declare full war....they still complain.....mr buhari what do u want jonathan to do oooo.......

I'm beginning to think it was staged... How come he never advised them to stop killing innocent nigerians but is now advising the government to stop killing them? Abi na make dem slaughter them like fowls

I will react to this statement on the 14th of feb, 2015

PDP and False News - Nothing new.

Boko Haram madness is allowed to keep degenerating in order to exploit it as a tool. And the madness will not stop until this administration uses it to intimidate Nigerians to re-electing Jonathan, use it as an excuse to clamp down on the opposition and exploit it to tilt the outcome of 2015 election to their favour.

President Jonathan is setting a dangerous precedence.

I fear for the future.
