Instead of APC to condemn the bombers they're here condemning a very important Democratic process: declaration to contest elections and electoral processes!!!

Liar Mohammed should speak out loud against the bomber

Liar mohammed is an unrepentant 'CHEMICAL ALI'. It's expected the APC spokesman won't find a voice to lampoon the terrorists cos they are APC frontline soldiers working round the clock to halt GEJ's bid in seeking relection... We now knw their antics and we will no longer pander to their whims.

The All Progressives Congress has described as “utterly insensitive and absolutely callous” the decision by President Goodluck Jonathan to declare his second term ambition a day after almost 50 students were killed and about 80 injured in a suicide bombing in Potiskum, Yobe State.
The party in a statement on Tuesday, accused the President of “dancing on the graves of the students” as well as of all the victims of the Boko Haram insurgency in the country.
”Since this President has chosen to celebrate a national tragedy, Nigerians should also be ready to celebrate his electoral failure next year,” the party said the statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
”Today, the three North-East states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are in danger of being overrun by Boko Haram and over 650,000 Nigerians are internally displaced in those states by the insurgency. Yet, President Jonathan says he puts Nigerians first. Lies have never worn a bolder face. The truth is that for President Jonathan, it is Jonathan first, Jonathan second, Jonathan third, Jonathan always!”
The opposition party added that with the latest “act of blatant hard-heartedness, Jonathan was only continuing along his well-trodden path of acting without deep introspection.
AC said, ”When about 60 students were killed in the terror attack on the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, in February 2014, President Jonathan never visited the scene to commiserate with the families of the victims. When over 80 people were killed in the first Nyanya bombing in April 2014, President Jonathan went dancing ‘Azonto’ in Kano less than 48 hours later. And when almost 300 girls were freshly abducted in Chibok, President Jonathan neither acted fast enough to rescue the girls nor visited the village. His Administration even denied anyone was abducted, until 19 days after!
”This President has therefore established a pattern of putting his political interest above the security and welfare of Nigerians who voted him into office. This President has trampled upon the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which makes the security and welfare of the citizenry the raison d’etre of the government’s existence.
“It is time for Nigerians to respond in kind by trampling on his political ambition and sending him back to Otuoke.”
The party queried the logic behind the Safe Schools Initiative of the Federal Government when over 70 students were killed and more than 100 maimed within a week in two separate attacks targetting a religious procession and schools in Potiskum alone.
“The Safe Schools Initiative will remain a mere tokenism until the fundamental problem of insurgency, which has claimed thousands of lives, is conclusively addressed. Mr. President, what Nigerians want is not an isolated Safe Schools Initiative, but a Safe Nigeria Initiative,” it added.


I have a thinking that APC masterminded the bombing in other to stop GEJ from declaration of his 2015 ambition.

Well, their plan failed.

GEJ till 2019.

All comments above mine are comments to support GEJ. Am not against his declaration but there should be some form of sobberness. This is no time to celebrate, its time to mourn. I only hope PDP comes up with a moresecuritysensitive presidentail aspirants cos Nigerian needs iron hands. We need a democracy like military.

PDP making the forthcoming election too easy for Buhari.

I. Don't expect that one will vote on basis of sentiment at this stage. If the present government federal and state can curb the insecurity, then we needa change of persons holding key positions.the failure of GEJ is not the. Failure of PDP.

GEJ would have been an excellent president if not for BH and corruptionthat his governemnent celebrates.

GEJn thank u for serving this country, but at ds time, we need a security sensitive president.if we needed someone to help with economy, we could have considered u but what we need now is to curb insecurity and corruption which ur government has fueled in the past fewyears. Kindly step aside like IBB

Please let us beg APC to stop wasting the lives of the innocent ones just to distract GEJ cos the man wont fall to their tricks rather it is the common masses that are dying
Re: Jonathan’s Second Term Declaration Callous, Insensitive -APC by Nobody: 5:16pm On Nov 11, 2014
As Nigerians (mostly because we are ignobly religious) we often hold out our Passionate Sentiments ahead of Reason and Fact. Since the past 6 years there have been running series of calamities (Social, Economic, Religious etc) bestriding Nigeria like an Drunk Arab prince on his aging concubine.. ok. that was a nasty picture. The Fact of the matter is who else has not declared his/her Political Ambition during this Dark Periods in the Country, some well-placed MOG even celebrated their birthdays and Church Anniversary at a time when bombs were going off and brethren were being slaughtered like in their hundreds up north.. but you do not see anyone note this in all the merriment.

So what is my point.. to use the much bastardized recently popular phrase we have now come to like.. What gives you the "Moral Right" to question Mr. President on his decision to make his Declaration in spite of the lives lost.. should he wait until BH decides to go on a mid-term break? What Nigerians don't or cannot phantom is that Malaria has killed more children in Nigeria in less time than BH have in the past 7 years. It does not matter anyway, if GEJ abated to commiserate with the families of the dead, his opponents will say he is currying cheap publicity and trying to bribe the sensitivities of the people. Trust bro Jonah, every visit is an opportunity to spread the largesse grin
Re: Jonathan’s Second Term Declaration Callous, Insensitive -APC by GODDYGEE91(m): 5:29pm On Nov 11, 2014
It is now clear that APC master minded the attack just 2 stop GEJ from declaring.
Re: Jonathan’s Second Term Declaration Callous, Insensitive -APC by fr3do(m): 5:35pm On Nov 11, 2014
Indeed! It was insensitive of Gej to declare as such a time, but its devilish of the opposition to use such a tragedy to score political points.
The man said all those things without condemning the bombings.
Re: Jonathan’s Second Term Declaration Callous, Insensitive -APC by Nobody: 5:42pm On Nov 11, 2014
Why would anyone doubt that APC didn't mastermind the recent bombing and killings. Why is it that anytime an event that has something to with GEJ's political moves is scheduled, bombs will always go off a day to that date.
Re: Jonathan’s Second Term Declaration Callous, Insensitive -APC by okeybig: 5:53pm On Nov 11, 2014
Nigerians hav seen APC despiration to get power by all means to the extent of masterminding suicide bomber,shading the blood of innocent Nigerian students. Their blood will come after one by one.
