Lagos - Nigerian president Goodluck
Jonathan will not be attending this week’s
African Union summit, his office has
confirmed, even though discussions on
terrorist group Boko Haram feature high on
the agenda.
Nigeria will be represented by foreign
minister Aminu Wali, City Press reported on
Thursday.
Jonathan is currently touring Nigeria to
campaign ahead of that country’s elections,
which are due to take place on 14 February.
Analysts say this is one of the country’s
most hotly-contested elections. The big race
is between Jonathan, from the People’s
Democratic Party, and the newly-formed All-
Progressive People’s Congress, with former
military ruler Muhammadu Buhari as its
presidential candidate.
The heated campaign has even seen a
comparison of handsomeness of the two
candidates by a celebrity.
The elections is one of 19 elections taking
place across the African continent this year.
It is not clear whether it is one of the 12
elections an AU commissioner said were of
concern to the AU, but the Institute for
Security Studies has ranked the elections as
“high risk” due to the fact that it is highly
contested, but also because of the increased
Boko Haram attacks and the divide between
the Muslim north and Christian south.
Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula
on Wednesday said that South Africa had
not deployed any soldiers to help Nigeria.
She threatened to arrest on return South
African ex-soldiers who went there to help
train Nigerian soldiers to fight back against
Boko Haram, branding them “mercenaries”.

[size=15pt]We should allow the AU to send us troops to tackle Boko Haram terror menace.

I am sure APC and all their Boko Haram sponsors & collaborators will find some lame excuse why we shouldn't accept AU's help.

It has become obvious that our troops have been so infiltrated by Boko haram that they are either unwilling or incapable of dealing with this menace once and for all. [/size]

MOD's do the needful. front page.



back to the topic. Why should GEJ leave the meeting because of campaign? chai, campaign now more important than lives and properties.

Some people are already sayin Nonsense already....
The fact is He will be represented by someone very competent.
It's no big deal.
