PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, are fighting for justice.

According to him, many Nigerians feel aggrieved and seek various means of airing their grievances.

Tukur, who spoke in Abuja on Tuesday when he received members of the party from Gombe State, said there must be justice in the country for peace to reign.

He however regretted that the activities of the sect were preventing some northerners from travelling to their home states.

Tukur said there was no way angry people would control their anger when there was nothing on their stomachs.

He said, “Let there be peace in the North so that we can have security.

“We can’t even travel again because of the insecurity in the region. Boko Haram is fighting for justice. Boko Haram is another name for justice.

“People feel aggrieved. They are angry because they are hungry. Unless we remove the hunger, we too may not be able to rest.

“We should remember that a child who says his mother would not sleep will also not sleep.”

The former governor of old Gongola State said he accepted to be honoured by the members of the party from the North-East on Saturday in his village because he wanted people know that things were not working well with the people in rural areas.

He said, “People would be wondering why I took the reception to my village in Jada. And they would be asking why not a place like Abuja, where we have good roads and all that.

“I did so, so that people would know what is happening in rural areas. Those that were there must have seen the bad roads. We must help people who cannot help themselves.

“That is why we are in government. You cannot do anything unless you are committed to it. We must build this party on equity and justice.”

Earlier, Gombe State Governor Ibrahim Dankwanbo, who led the delegation said the members came to show their loyalty to the leadership of the party.

Pls does this mean Bamanga Tukur believes in the course of bh fighters? Bearing in mind he is a pdp chieftain.

Should this have come from GMB, the Jonagoons would have cascaded it but now no 1 is saying a damp thing.

ILIDEFI:
Buhari said the same thing last year, so no big deal. As far as the north is concerned, there is no difference between PDP and APC. Their only aim is to wrestle power back from the south through whatever means.

Buhari Faults Clampdown On Boko-Haram Members


Former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari has faulted the federal government’s clampdown on Boko Haram Islamic insurgents.
He accused the government of killing and destroying their houses while the Niger Delta militants were given special treatment by the government.

Buhari who spoke on Sunday on a Liberty Radio programme, Guest of the Week monitored in Kaduna also admitted that the road to the registration of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was rough, pointing out that the promoters of the party were well prepared for any hitch that may arise.

Buhari who first spoke in Hausa before the English version accused politicians from the Niger Delta region of starting the current in security in the country by recruiting and arming youths of the region in their desperate attempt to retain power as governors.

The former Nigerian leader 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? [size=14pt]It is injustice [/size]

When people say PDP is a nest of killers, the paid "40-Laptops crew" will be quick to shout themselves hoarse, though we understand they are doing what they are paid to do!

Now, their Chairman say HE SANCTIONS TERRORISM, RAPE, BEHEADINGS, KIDNAP and all that Boko Haram stands for.

I guess the SPONSORS OF BOKO HARAM ARE BEGINING TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES!
When does TERRORISM become and answer for "grievance" .... or is it only in the North that there is Hunger and Bad Roads?

We have GEJ and his PDP tp thank for the Kidnap of our girls, ..... and now even Boys have been added just yesterday!
Yet GEJ says he has secured a "ceasefire"!

Hmmm..... Wonders shall never end.

To be honest, i think he has a point there. I have stayed in the north for a while and the level of poverty there is alarming. Wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few individual, while the vast majority live in nearly sub human conditions. They can hardly afford to eat once a day, talk less of three times a day. And worst of all, is the fact that most of them have little or no hope of improving their conditions as there is little or no employment opportunities.
If a young man in such a condition is promised riches and an opportunity to improve on his impoverished status, on the condition that he wields arms against the government that has done nothing for him, he may find it hard to refuse.
First militancy came, now insurgency. After insurgency, who knows what will come next. The root cause of these menaces can be traced to poverty. Until poverty is tackled and reduced to the barest minimum, it will be difficult for Nigeria to have a peaceful existence. As the popular cliche goes, a hungry man is an angry man.
I rest my case.

prettyboi1989:
So because of poverty they will also kill their fellow neighbours living in poverty? There's more to this than meets the eye. U tryn to compare bh with niger delta militants, hope u know d militants were fighting for a particular cause? Did they kill their neighbours? Did they burn down houses of their neighbours? Bh has no cause, they are more like trigger happy psychos who find pleasure causing havoc for no reason. Hope u know terrorist organizations have money so their problem isn't about poverty. Isis has money yet they go about killing people. Its more like a quest for power, world domination which is evil to the core.

dokiOloye:
. Ppl lik U are even more dangerous than boko haram cos U r obviously more dangerous than the fighters themselves cos this ur type of writeup justifies their actions.If Northerners are poor,who is d cause,is it not d northerners Themselves.What does a state like Ebonyi,Ekiti gain from d govt that Borno doesn't get 5 times?if they're so frustrated abt the issues,why don't they concentrate their attacks on their elites including their emirs who receive a fixed percentage of d local govt allocations every month?what do U have to say abt a man who can barely feed but is married to 4 women and has 20 children?what do U have to say abt their rejection of western education cos all these northern muslims who U think are stark illiterates can read d arabic version of d quran inside out?Do U knw that d numberof fed govt agencies in kaduna and kano alone are more than all d ones in south east and south south.hw do U explain a situation where a man who is barely able to feed is sponsored wt millions of naira to proceed on pilgrimage?northern governors routinely organise mass weddings for ppl who can't afford to marry,what do U think is going to be d outcome of those marriages? northerners hold d key to their salvation,their so called poverty is self induced.
