A former classmate of President Muhammadu Buahari and currently the Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Ibrahim Coomasie has noted that with the emergence of a Northerner as president, the Boko Haram insurgency will be checked effectively.

He told Leadership that, “It’s only one month now and you have seen what he has done so far. He has visited
the scene of the incident; he has seen the president of Chad Republic; he has seen the president of Niger Republic and he has visited the G-7 Summit.

” He is doing something to prepare the ground for final onslaught against Boko Haram. In fact, he said he will
fight Boko Haram to the last man. Did we hear this type of thing from Jonathan while he was in office? He wasn’t even visiting the place”.

Speaking on factors that made it possible
for Buhari to win the 2015 election, the former Inspector-General of Police noted that Buhari became so famous during the electioneering and on the political scene generally.

According to him, “the last six years of Jonathan’s administration ignored two important issues which were provided for in the constitution. The purpose of government is to provide security and welfare of the people. Jonathan ignored
this and for six years, our people were being killed in the North-East of the country, property were being destroyed, children were killed, schools destroyed and even some were kidnapped.

“So, one of the things we said was that enough is enough. The ACF under our leadership told the Northern
governors that the carnage and devastation in the North was enough
and that something must be done about it. Later on, we wrote the
president an open letter which was published in the media, highlighting all the atrocities that had been happening in the North. We talked about the attacks on the North and the attacks on personalities, including the incumbent president and some clergymen like Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi, who was attacked in Kaduna. There was no
reply from the Presidency.
“This thing spread to even the North-Central and North-West and because of that, the ACF spearheaded the leadership of other NGOs in the North to say enough is enough. What we needed then was to bring back the arrangement of power shift and it meant we would support a Northern candidate. So, when the APC brought up a Northern candidate, we came all out to support him. We decided to try a Northern candidate and when APC brought out Muhammadu Buhari as its candidate, I went on air to rally support for him even though there were few resentments here and there,” he stated.

God will give PMB the wisdom to rule the country and stop the boko tinz

Q.

We knew it right from the start

Born to Rule pipo has berthed. Coomasie ni, Kumasi ko

This is the uncle of boko Haram speaking

The truth is coming out slowly about the intention of BH and how it was used to destabilise GEJ government

Coomasie is boko haram donor, the monster has become bigger than its creator.

Let the mouth action continue but they should know that campaign is over.

Useless old men that should be playing the role elder of statesmen still enmeshed in divisive tribal politics. As leaders of the north, how did they assist the govt of Gej in combating the virulent group? In the 5yrs of Jonathan's administration, all they did was form themselves into an effective clog in the fight against the terrorist so much so they almost became the propagandist arm of the same group killing their people. With bogus claims and spurious allegations, they put the govt in a catch 22 position, if the terrorist were bombed and pushed back, they claim it's an attack aimed at decimating the north, with a softer approach govt, they turned around and claimed the govt was deliberately ignoring the the activities of the group because the area could be an impediment to his second term ambition. Boko haram is a tiger they fed with the blood and flesh of Christians, minorities in the north and non indigines. Now the tiger has so big and so insatiable it can no more distinguish btw the flesh of its owner and those of their enemies

Okay. I just pray something is done quickly; too many people are dying. I want to understand why the killing has trippled since Buhari entered office. There is something fishy going on.
