As violence continues to ravage some parts of the northern states, including Borno, the National Coordinator of the Ijaw Monitoring Group, Mr. Joseph Evah, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to deploy his deputy, Namadi Sambo to Borno State, as part of efforts to salvage the situation caused by the Boko Haram sect.



In an interview with our correspondent at Benin Airport, Edo State on Thursday, Evah said similar methods were applied in controlling militancy in the Niger Delta, saying the leadership of the Arewa Consultative Forum also had a part to play in bringing about a solution to the problem in Northern Nigeria.



Evah said, “Let Sambo move to Borno State. What is he doing in the Villa? The vice-president should go to Borno and talk to the people. When the problem of the Niger Delta was raging, leaders from the area all went to the creeks to talk to the militants, and today Nigerians can see the impact of their engaging them.



“Let Sambo leave Aso Rock and engage Boko Haram. They should not come to the Villa. The Arewa Consultative Forum should be up to their responsibilities. Let them work it out.”



On whether the emergence of Jonathan has fulfilled the Ijaw agenda, Evah answered in the negative, saying, “The election of Jonathan does not mean the Ijaw agenda is fulfilled. It is not yet. If those surrounding him choose not to remember the dreams of Isaac Boro, Ken Saro-Wiwa and others, then they are deceiving themselves.”

Hehe

They want Boko Haram to kill him off

This Eva guy wicked o.

Joseph Eva is one funny dude. lol,
I have watched him on tv once, He talks with all his mouth wide open.

Wickedness in high place. when the sect said the man is top on there most wanted list and somebody is advising that such person should go and mediate. it.ps like a sheep entering the lion's den

The guy is one of the funniest and most entertaining political analysts in Nigeria. I laff whenever he's talking.

He has a point though. But maybe not Sambo but Northern Leaders should be used as Ijaw leaders and other N. Deltans in Government including Jonathan were used by OBJ and Yaradua during the MEND saga.

The delegation to Borno should include the vice president Namadi Sambo, Senate president David Mark, speaker of the house Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and other elder states men like Dr Ali Modu Sheriff, Adamu Ciroma and Sanni Yerima

I think the call is not out of place.

Evans had made a point here, the northerns elders should able to something in such a way, it may not be sambo, but reverse is the case, all the elders could say is that JTF should be withdraw, so that their youths can continue the killings

ROTFLMAO!!!

Oh my days!!! I want to hear Sambo's response.

this ijaw guyz wicked oo, them no wan make sambo family enjoy d man @ll, they are sendin him 2 d war front

Boko Haram would gladly use Sambo as an example.

Dat will be like going on a sucide mission, The poor man would rather resign as vp than go to where he wil be bombed into piece,

luluosas:

I think the call is not out of place.

semid4lyfe:

Nothing wrong in what Joseph Evah has said. . . . . . .

Nothing wrong indeed
But did you recommend the same about Jonathan when he was VP to Yaradua when MEND was on a roll?

make den send IBB, Akitu and Buhari.

^^^ There's a slight difference bruh, in that these boko guys take no prisoners. They give the word 'mean' a whole new meaning, and even Al qaeda is impressed with them.

How can you compare Bush to Sambo?? Bush na spirit, with godly form and powers. Sambo na mere mortal , abi you wan chop sambo suya?

Another cheap talk

Boko Haram members are normal ppl like u and me, so OBJ,IBB,BUHARI,ATIKU,BANKOLE and ADAMU CIROMA should go and talk with them,but if they can not go and talk with them, lets divide the country there is no need of pretending to be one while we are not,Yorubas - OPC, Hausa - Boko Haram, Igbos - Massob, Niger Delta - Mend, The truth must be told, we are not one, if we are why killing the innocent ppl that has nothin to do with the Govt.?,

Did late Yardua deploy jonathan to talk with the ND terrorists during the militancy era ?

9ice one Evah, hitting the nail on the head.

If the N.D leaders made effort to bring peace to the once volatile region,there is nothing wrong if the likes of Sambo,IBB,Atiku,Ciroma and the ACF talk to these guys.

I bet they won't coz they are the catalyst.

Yes he did. VP Goodluck Jonathan moved to camp 5 belonging to Tompolo in 2008(MEND gave a boundary where the JTF gunboats should not exceed and the VP was excorted by them to camp)He engaged MEND in a peace talk and thereafter they called for ceasefire in a couple of months.

See answer above.

who is the chief security officer of this country? what would jona be doing in the villa? let him engage them too.

A good suggestion but presented in the most silly way by an insensitive politician. So arewa members can do that but not our VP.

I will like to know sambo response to this, the dude is an archit, not psychology. So?
