MINNA -The Chairman of the Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) and Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, yesterday predicted that the activities of the dreaded Boko Haram in the region would soon be history. He said the terrorists group would soon meet their waterloo as government had maintained sporadic attacks on their hideouts. Aliyu’s prediction was contained in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Israel A. Ebije, to the entire Ummah in the country in commemoration of Eid-el- Maulud – the birthday of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The NSGF chair reiterated that Boko Haram insurgents were neither representing Islam nor carrying out the teachings and lifestyles of Prophet Muhammad. He then congratulated Muslim Ummah in the country for the celebration of the Eid-el- Maulud and urged them to use the occasion to reflect on the teachings and exemplary life of the Holy Prophet for the overall development of the country. “Let me join all Muslim Ummah in celebrating the messenger of Allah through whom the Holy Qur’an was revealed to mankind. Indeed, the life the Prophet lived should always serve as an inspiration to the faithful and his pious life as a model for all of us.” Aliyu said Prophet Muhammad and indeed Islam generally preached peace, tolerance, unity and cohesion, stressing that it was only on those platforms that the society could progress and not through killing and maiming of innocent citizens. The NSGF chair also reminded Nigerians on the need to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), insisting it was the only instrument they could use to exercise their constitutional right in electing leaders of their choice. He, therefore, urged those who have not seen their PVCs as well as those who just attained the age of 18 to register, adding that it was also an opportunity for those who lost their Temporary Voters’ Card (TVCs) to go and re-register in order not to be disenfranchised. The governor, who noted that the 2015 general election was just a few weeks away, called on politicians and the electorate to play according to the rules of the game to ensure peaceful conduct of the exercise and a smooth transition.
