Former Gombe State Governor Muhammad Danjuma Goje has apologised to the Jama’atu Ahliss-Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, popularly known as Boko Haram, for whatever wrong he might have done to the group during the outbreak of the Boko Haram crisis in the North East.

Spokesman of the group, Abu Zaid, in an interview published in Daily Trust on Friday, blamed Danjuma Goje and two other governors for their alleged roles in the Boko Haram crisis.

Goje’s statement reads: “My attention has been drawn to a publication in the Daily Trust of Friday 24th June 2011 following an interview granted the paper by one Abu Zaid , spokesperson for the Jama’atu Ahli Sunnah Lidaawati wal Jihad demanding a public apology from me, for my role as the then Governor of Gombe State at the outbreak of the Boko Haram crisis in the North East.

“As a true Muslim, who believes in peace and brotherhood, as entrenched in both the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), I hereby tender my PUBLIC APOLOGY to the organisation for any wrong done to it in the course of performing my duty as the then Governor of Gombe State.

“We pray to Allah (SWT) to continue to promote Islam, peace and brotherhood for humanity throughout the world.”

Please i hope this is not true. Danjuma Goje was a no nonsense governor who was greatly feared and respected by his enemies. He did alot for the gombe people. One of the best governors in Nigeria's history.
During the uprising of boko haram in gombe, he sternly warned them and even went after the members arresting and demolishing their houses. I really dont know what this apology is about but i hope its not true.
If a former governor apologises to boko haram because they demanded for it, then we are in trouble. It just shows that they can get to anyone they want.
Well, fellow nigerians, at this juncture, i need to announce to you that if you think your security lies with man in this country, you are doomed.
Goodluck Jonathan sent additional 300 soldiers to Maiduguri last week and by yesterday the boko haram killed over 30 people at ago in thesame maiduguri.
NA ONLY GOD GO BE OUR SECURITY!

He is scared for his life.

Apology wouldn't be enough, he should contribute his salary to boko haram, if he is not doing that already
----spinless coward

LMAO
Gojes fear of Boko haram is the beginning of his wisdom.when you consider even the police couldn't defend itself,talk more of rendering security to an exGov.It is only wise to do this and live to fight another day.

Lmao

Wise man. Since the state cannot guarantee security, what choice does he have?

ROFLMAO

Do we have a president?

ekt_bear:

Lmao

My tots exactly!

and that man with his so called fresh air is doing nothing. What kind of president have nigerians voted?

why blaming the president on this?.He must have odered his security agencies to do thier jobs,first.they most gather up informations and therefore proceed on the nest round OF ACTION.
We have low class security agencies with a very low level equipement,why?.The born to rule that head this country since independence has nothing contributed to the advancement of our various security agencies.
they still have men and women in uniform they are using to hurt and distablize our country for thier selfish interest
and now we are blaming the present president?
give me a break and give the guy some time to eradicate all these nuisants

Nice one.

Even if Jonathan uses the military, how do we know that this Northern dominated military will not side with Boko Haram?

Nigeria my country.

The man is simply helpless. State security cant protect him and this he knows. i would have done the same thing abegiii.
who wan die .

Fresh Air indeed.

Life saving apology.

Boko Haram will give Nigerians freedom from the Nigerian hell. They may be the ones to actually break the country.

Maybe sooner than 2015. . .

EzeUche!:

Maybe sooner than 2015. . .

I don't even want a rush, let things slowly work out.

Anyway, everyone would have done the same thing as the ex-Governor.

Is it really gej's fault?

dayokanu:

Do we have a president?

Yes!
The was an election remember, and the people spoke

Yes we do

GEJ is such a weak link.

^^^
I was going to say yes, but then I thought that there maybe more than meets the eyes.
Loosers of the last election like Adamu Ciroma and his group have vowed to use violence to make the country ungovernable.
GEJ and his team maybe using more than logic to counter them.

udezue:

GEJ is such a weak link.

Why do you say so?

By the powers vested on me, I now Pronounce Nigeria DEAD! 

nnaa men this is really serious! it seems this group dey stronger than the ss group!            to the extend of a GOVERNOR!    chai!

Well, the Ex-Governor apologized!
Why?
FEAR, simple and straight forward!

And it was expedient he does so quickly else, he is dead meat

Point is: Did the Governor even believed in "His Actions" back then when he was a Governor or was it just "Executive Rascality" he was playing?

Why cant he stand by his actions now, if he thought he was doing the right thing, back then?
This is just a classic example of how "our leaders behave" when they have power at their beck and call!.
They abuse it because they think they are not accountable but "Thanks to Boko Haram" they can at least apologize for their stewpidity!

What he is saying to the Boko guys is that: Look, l am a Chameleon, just let me get the "paraphernalia of office" again and l would be back to my old skin!

All those yarns about "True Muslim" is hogwash! Na fear catch my guy!

BTW: I think we should start issuing "Boko Haram" against those who loot our national treasury?

Emmm.,.,.,where is that list sef?
If you dont return what you stole within 7days, Boko Haram is on your tail! Apologies not accepted, RETURN THE MONEY, Oga!

This is getting interesting by the day!
Like "Mc Donalds advert" would say:" Tuut-turu-tuu, Am loving it"

BOKO Wetin? I dey come make l go open account for returned loot
