According to a report by International Cable TV Al- Jazeera, Nigeria’s opposition has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of using the fight against Boko Haram as “positive propaganda” to win votes in next month’s election. These accusations follow the release of a video by military commanders showing the army in combat against the armed group. Al-Jazeera’s correspondent Ms. Yvonne Ndege, reports: [WATCH] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYVsfBANigM Ayo Oyalowo of the All Progressives Comgress speaking with the Al-Jazeera reporter concerning the release of a video by military commanders showing the army in combat against the armed group said; “This video that has been released for us looks like a joke… if we want to play games let us play games if we want to act movies let us act movies… The government said they have won a battle and they are showing us aerial bombardment but why are they not taking journalists, press people to go to the place… We see a government that believes in propaganda in making delusions look like reality.” Nigeria’s leading opposition party has often been accused of capitalizing on the onslaught against the country by Boko Haram as a major campaign issue against the sitting President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the recent victories over Boko Haram is seen to have dealt a big blow to their campaign which assumed high momentum as a Nigerians of the fears by many Nigerians of the group’s amplified dominance. Meanwhile key opposition figures have spoken to water down the impact of the military’s victories as most recently observed in the demand by leading BBOG campaigner Oby Ezekwesili, that the military provide prove of its victory. The opposition party strategists are currently its approaches as it sees the Boko Haram issue as its only and ultimate joker to achieve victory at the polls. www.informationng.com/2015/02/apc-jittery-over-nigerias-victory-over-boko-haram-accuses-jonathan-of-positive-propaganda-al-jazeera-tv.html |

APC hails troops, blames president for allowing insurgency to fester • Jonathan condemns bombings in Kano, Potiskum • Nigeria: Israel crucial in fight against sect Muhammad Bello, Onyebuchi Ezigbo, Jaiyeola Andrews in Abuja, Ibrahim Shuaibu in Kano and Michael Olugbode in Maiduguri with agency report Setting partisan politics aside, the House of Representatives on Tuesday applauded President Goodluck Jonathan and the Nigerian military for the latter’s recent recapture of several towns and communities that had fallen under the control of the terror group, Boko Haram, in the North-east, particularly Borno State. Similarly, the All Progressives Congress (APC) showered the same praise on the troops, but blamed Jonathan for allowing the insurgency to fester and the resultant deaths of 15,000 Nigerians. But their praise coincided with the condemnation by the president of two suicide bombings yesterday at bus stations in Kano and Potiskum which resulted in the death of 27 persons in both cities. Prompted by a motion of urgent national importance moved by Hon. Muhammad Tahir Monguno (APC, Borno), the House praised the military for its bravery and steadfastness, noting that in previous months, Boko Haram had nearly over-run Borno State, but added that the tide was turning against the insurgents as a result of the gallantry of the soldiers. According to Monguno, prior to the new offensive against the terror group, Boko Haram had subdued some communities, hoisted their flags in the local government headquarters and subjected the people to despicable acts of torture. “Almost all the local governments taken over by Boko Haram have now been liberated, so the armed forces require some encouragement from us in the parliament,” Monguno stated. Arguing in the same vein, Hon. Abubakar Momoh (SDP, Edo) also commended the effort of the military in chasing out the insurgents. “We were aware that a few months ago, Boko Haram unleashed a reign of terror on many parts of the North-east. But today, this has been curtailed,” Momoh said. “We need to commend the military and the Commander- in-Chief, President Jonathan, who made it possible for the soldiers to operate effectively,” he added. Similarly, the Deputy House Leader, Hon. Leo Ogor (PDP, Delta), observed that the development in Borno and other places “is a sign that the military is working”. “It is therefore important to appreciate what they are doing. We also need to commend other nations – Chad, Cameroun and Niger – for assisting us in fighting this battle. “We need, also, to commend the Commander-in-Chief for his bold steps in ensuring that there is security in the beleaguered areas within six weeks (before the elections),” Ogor said. Also, the House shifted the consideration of a motion sponsored by the Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila (APC, Lagos), seeking to nullify, on constitutional grounds, the use of soldiers to provide security during elections, till today. If Gbajabiamila’s request sails through, the House may resolve to set up an ad hoc committee to investigate the role played by military personnel, and any other person (s) who featured in the said audio tape saga in the run up to Ekiti State governorship election. It may also call on the federal government, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the military authorities and other stakeholders to obey the ruling of the Federal High Court, Sokoto, which declared that deployment of soldiers during elections is unconstitutional. In this regard, the House may urge the federal government not to deploy military personnel during the elections in compliance with the decision of the court. But as the House commended Jonathan and the military for the routing of Boko Haram in some sections of the North-east, the opposition APC elected yesterday to limit its praise to the troops. In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said the president bears a huge moral responsibility that would haunt him for a long time to come for deliberately allowing the Boko Haram insurgency to fester, leading to the deaths of over 15,000 Nigerians and the displacement of over three million others in the past six years. The party further alleged that Jonathan deliberately allowed the Boko Haram crisis to fester because he and his team saw it as their trump card for winning re-election in 2015. On the military, APC said the string of victories recorded by the troops over the insurgents had confirmed its stand that the Nigerian military can hold its own anywhere and anytime, if provided with the necessary equipment and if the morale of the troops is not undermined. It said by his own admission that he and his team “underrated the capacity of Boko Haram”, the president has finally owned up to his globally-acknowledged incompetence, a development which, in truly democratic societies, should be part of a statement of resignation by a leader whose terrible error of judgment has caused so many deaths and inflicted so much pain and sorrow on his compatriots. APC said: “The truth is that Jonathan deliberately allowed the Boko Haram crisis to fester because he and his team saw it as their trump card for winning re- election in 2015 by currying local and global sectarian sympathy with a Muslim-group-killing-Christians narrative that totally distorts the fact that Boko Haram is a band of marauders who have no consideration for ethnicity, regionalism, religion or any other thing beyond their mad disposition to terror.” It recalled that the APC had raised the alarm on many occasions, including during an appearance at the British Parliament in 2014 when the party’s spokesman had warned that the PDP and the president were using the Boko Haram crisis as a trump card to retain power in 2015. “Is it not curious that the same president who has stood by while Boko Haram decimates a whole section of the country over the past six years has suddenly realised there is something he could do to crush the sect in six weeks? “Is it not curious that a military that has been globally acknowledged for its successes in peacekeeping at regional and international levels has suddenly found itself unable to tackle a band of criminals? “Is it not curious that the necessary fighting equipment that have not been made available to the military, despite the injection of over $32 billion into the defence and security sector since 2008, have suddenly become available? “There are more questions to be asked: At what point did President Jonathan begin to have a clear idea that Boko Haram is a major threat to the very survival of our country? Was it after about 300 innocent girls were abducted from their school in Chibok or before? “Was it after hundreds of boys were slaughtered in a secondary school in Buni Yadi or before? Or was it before or after the Nyanya bomb blast that led to the deaths of hundreds of people? Just when did our president wake up to his primary responsibility? “The truth is that after their Boko Haram-as-a-trump- card strategy blew up in their face and their electoral fortunes plummeted, the PDP-led Jonathan administration came to the realisation that a stepped- up campaign against the insurgents is needed to revive their electoral fortunes, hence they then decided to pep up the military and rally regional troops - the same suggestions from the opposition that the administration has pointedly ignored over the years - to combat the terrorists. “President Jonathan, who is also the Commander-in- Chief of the Armed Forces, must take responsibility for the monumental cost, whether of his incompetence or his political strategy-gone-awry or both, apologise to the nation and immediately back down from seeking re-election. “The president must not be allowed to profit from an error of judgement that has cost 15,000 lives, forced over 3 million out of their homes and cost the taxpayers $32.88 billion.” The party also expressed concern at the efforts of the Jonathan administration to make Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau look invincible, with the president's statement that Shekau would be caught before the elections. APC said while Nigerians would undoubtedly be happy and relieved to see the end of Boko Haram, they must be wondering what would have happened if the plummeting electoral fortunes of the president had not forced his administration to push for the six-week postponement of the general election. “They must also be wondering what would have happened if the elections had been scheduled for 2016, instead of 2015,” it stated. The party commended the long-suffering, gallant Nigerian soldiers and called on all Nigerians to continue to support them and the battle against insurgency. continue www.thisdaylive.com/articles/house-applauds-jonathan-military-for-onslaught-against-boko-haram/202682/

President Goodluck Jonathan’s emergence as Nigeria’s President is a great blessing to the country, the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, has said. Moro told newsmen in Abuja on Monday that Jonathan has effectively used the transformation agenda as a tool to launch Nigeria on the path of progress and development. According to Moro, “the greatest gift that God has given to the country today is Mr. President. “Dr. Jonathan inherited from past administrations moribund social infrastructures. Our roads were impassable, our hospitals, as they say, were mere consulting units. At a point, some of them were not even qualified to be consulting institutions “Our schools lacked direction, and at a point, the standard of education was nose-diving at a very alarming rate. “Our airports were eyesores. Our drive towards providing sustainable, clean drinkable water for the people was non-existent. Our agriculture was nose-diving to a level that food insecurity threatened the nation. I can go on and on and on. “What is just simply required is the goodwill of the Nigerian people, their support and cooperation to capitalize on this launch pad to development that the transformation agenda has provided for Nigeria.” Moro expressed confidence that Jonathan would win the forthcoming presidential election, noting that the candidate of opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), lacked the capacity to stage any major upset in the forthcoming general elections. “Today, I have enumerated the various achievements of this present administration, even in the face of daunting insecurity in the country, the daunting distraction from the opposition. “This government has remained focused and building on the very foundation that it has laid to take Nigeria to the next level of development,” Moro posited. www.247nigerianewsupdate.co/moro-calls-jonathan-gods-greatest-gift-says-buhari-cannot-stage-upset/ |

It seems you formatted your brain recently cause if not, you would have recalled that your he-goat of Amechi left the PDP for a year now and since he can`t boast of any infrastructural input in River State.

Attempts to recapture Monguno, Borno State, which was attacked during the weekend by Boko Haram militants, have been unsuccessful. It should be recalled that as soon as Monguno, located close to Maiduguri, was seized, the insurgents tried to advance to the state capital. However, the attack was repelled by the military. According to The Nation, speaking 27 January, Tuesday, Monguno residents, who managed to escape, confirmed that Boko Haram were in full control of the town. Abdullahi Jibril, lamented there was no more troops in Monguno, adding that the resident of Gajiganna, a town along the Baga/Monguno road started fleeing in fear of potential attacks. “As I am talking to you now, there is no single soldier in Monguno. Anybody that is saying that there are soldiers fighting in Monguno is lying. The Boko Haram members have put their flags in the hospital, police station and the military Barrack. They are preaching in the place right now. “I was lucky to escape after I moved my father and my mother to Gajiganna. They killed the Imam Bachila of Bakasi area. They also caught the chief Imam of Monguno town, Liman Modu, who is the most respected man in the town.” Many displaced people from Monguno, Baga and Gajiganna were spotted along Baga road. Meanwhile the fate of at least 1,400 soldiers stationed at Monguno Barracks at the time of the attack remains unknown. After the raid Borno State governor, Kashim Shettima, commended the soldiers who “gallantly” fought against the insurgents and protected Maiduguri. http://www.naij.com/373705-boko-haram-fully-control-monguno-escaped-residents.html |
