Former Head of Military Ruler and Chieftain of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Federal Government to stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents, saying Niger Delta Militants were never killed or properties belonging to them destroyed.
Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored said accused the government of killing and destroying houses belonging to Boko Haram members while the Niger Delta militants get special treatment.
The former dictator said that unlike the special treatment given to the Niger Delta militants by the federal government, the Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished by government.
While accusing President Jonathan of failing from the beginning to address the security situation in the country, Buhari said he has never been in support of the state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa state.
According to Buhari “what is responsible for the security situation in the country is caused by the activities of Niger Delta militants. Every Nigerian that is familiar with what is happening knows this. The Niger Delta militants started it all.
“What happened is that the governors of the Niger Delta region at that time wanted to win their elections. So they recruited the youths and gave them guns and bullets and used them against their opponents to win elections by force.
“After the elections were over, they asked the boys to return the guns; the boys refused to return the guns. Because of that, the allowance that was being given to the youths by the governors during that time was stopped.
“The youths resorted to kidnapping oil workers and were collecting dollars as ransom. Now a boy of 18 to 20 years was getting about 500 dollars in a week, why will he go to school and spend 20 years to study and then come back and get employed by government to be paid N100,000 a month, that is if he is lucky to get employment.
“So kidnapping becomes very rampant in the South -South and the South -East. They kidnapped people and were collecting money.
“How did Boko Haram start? We know that their leader, Mohammed Yusuf started his militant and the police couldn’t control them and the army was invited. He was arrested by soldiers and handed over to the police.
“The appropriate thing to do, according to the law, was for the police to carry out investigations and charge him to court for prosecution, but they killed him, his in-law was killed, they went and demolished their houses.
“Because of that, his supporters resorted to what they are doing today.
You see in the case of the Niger Delta militants, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua sent an aeroplane to bring them, he sat down with them and discussed with them, they were cajoled, and they were given money and granted amnesty.
“They were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished.
They are different issues, what brought this? It is injustice”.
While fielding questions in English in the same programme, Buhari said that the promoters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) were aware of the challenges ahead of them in an effort to get the party registered, saying “the road to merger is quite rough.
“The ruling party, with its enormous resources and its capacity for coercion has seen it as a threat and they have said it. Personally, I came to realise since 2007 that Nigerians believe that the only way to stabilise the system of multi-party democracy is for the opposition parties that have representatives right from Councillors to the National Assembly come together to deliver their constituencies democratically.
This is the only way you can counter PDP’s enormous physical and material influence in the country”
He expressed optimism that the All Progressive Congress will be registered saying “by nature, I am an optimist. If I were not an optimist, I will not attempt to contest the presidency three times and end up in the Supreme Court three times. I believe we are going to be registered.
“There is a law guiding party registration which states that you must have your headquarters in the nation’s capital that can be identified by INEC and you must have a convention. All the three parties involved have held their conventions and have agreed to forsake our existing parties and go for APC.
“At the national level, we must have those who will run the party. As soon as we meet these criteria and INEC acknowledge that, 30 days after the acknowledgement, we are APC whether INEC write us and give us the registration or not”. Share On:

KinkyAngela: Ihejirika,call your boys to order. Why are you killing Nigerians? Is it because we didnt vote for Jonathan? Is that why you want to make the country ungovernable for Buhari?
Dont worry, your case is still with the ICC
BOKO HARAM GOT THERE BEFORE GEJ GOT ELECTED!
PLEASE HOW WILL BOKO HARAM TAKE ORDERS FROM A CHRISTIAN ?
BOKO HARAM IS A MUSLIM THING!
NA YOUR MUSLIM BROTHERS & PRESIDENT DEY SPONSOR BOKO HARAM.
basilo101: Yorubas were in a hurry to stop igbos from political relevance, they shud have been the ones to strike a deal with ekweremadu in return to support for gbaja, but were blinded by the excitement of taking igbos out of corridors of power. yorubas shud kw that the north is observing their betrayal of fellow southerners and can never trust them. Imagine kwankwaso and Tambuwal being a part of this plot. Only a yoruba and igbo combination can clip the wings of the north, but over sabi wont allow the yorubas
chamboy: The Best thing for APC to do now is to Support the Allowance Reduction, PDP would always oppose (they are Bunch of Kleptos)... APC gets Nigerians Backing, PDP is ruined
Our President na dullard, that does not mean you too have to become dullard. APC cannot even get it act together. No Ministers yet. They could not even resolve Senate President & House Speaker.
NOBODY is Igbo political master. We are individually masters of our own fates.
As for the Fulani, "monkey dey clever be say tree dey". In Nigeria, the Yoruba have consistently played the role of the tree upon which the Fulani demonstrate their cleverness to the chagrin of other groups in Nigeria. The last election proved that point fully.
Shymm3x: Lol, I understand the dynamics of their culture and mentality, from an historical POV - and I know how they operate. Heck, I told Eurobomber last week that they're just warming up with their vengeance. Seriously, who among the Nigerian elites doesn't fear them? Even the normal folks fear them, judging by the way their bororos (the pikeys among them) go around killing/maiming folks with impunity. The first law of power is to put fear in people and they've mastered it. Anyway, I honestly don't know how folks can be shiit-scared of people who bleed just like them, to be honest.
Unity in the South is a pipe-dream based on how the country was structured from the get-go. The overly aggressive and emotional temperament of Igbos will never be able to unite properly with the peaceful and jolly temperament of the Yoruba. More like a cat and mouse game. And that will always play into the hands on the Fulanis, the owners of Nigeria - with just basic divide and conquer strategy.
Stop talking like a dullard, the igbos have been abused by the yorubas.
Your Oba threatened to drown us. Your Governor deported Igbos Your Doctor in America said to murder us all.
As they say "As you make your bed you lie on it"
The South East & The South South backed OBJ. A south-south person gets there and you betray.
atlwireles: Not in my world, when you sell yourself for cheap . Fulanis should not be blamed for people's stupidityy. Their vote count has not changed since 2003.[size=14pt] They just found more ediots to add to their ranch.[/size]
