IjapaTiroko:
Israel VS Palestine is a dicey situation.
I can't support either party.
Israel is hell bent on collecting all their ancestral land. Palestine is hell bent on keeping their country.
I'm trying to see things from Palestine angle but:

So far, not many Nigerians consider Mr Buhari’s campaign and fight against terror as successful. The president is accused of ineptitude and nepotism amid nationwide chaos.

The All Progressives Congress has called on Nigerians to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s ongoing efforts to bring a permanent solution to the country’s security challenges.

So far, not many Nigerians consider Mr Buhari’s campaign and fight against terror as successful. The president is accused of ineptitude and nepotism amid nationwide chaos.

John Akpanudoedehe, National Secretary of the APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), made the call in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.

He welcomed the release of the 29 students abducted from the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation, Afaka in Kaduna, by bandits.

He noted that it was heartwarming news to know that the students were reunited with their families, friends, and other loved ones.

“We deeply appreciate all stakeholders involved in the students’ release, while the party and government share concerns of well-meaning Nigerians on the security incidents in the country.

“We reiterate our call to Nigerians for the continued support of ongoing efforts by the President Buhari government at a quick and permanent solution to the security challenges,” he said.

Unknown gunmen had abducted 39 students from the school on March 11 and had previously released 10 of them.

The newly released students arrived at the police headquarters in Kaduna on Wednesday night, looking weary.

According to reports, one female student was carried into the building because she could not walk, while another was rushed to a hospital.

Pantami Bags Most Outstanding Minister of the Year Award

The Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, @DrIsaPantami has been conferred with the Award as MOST OUTSTANDING MINISTER OF THE YEAR by People and Power Magazine.

The accolade according to the magazine is in recognition of the laudable policies developed by the Ministry under the supervision of the Minister such as the revolutionary NIN–SIM Data linkage, the National Digital Economy Policy & Strategy for a #DigitalNigeria, among others.

Terror-minded Pantami named Nigeria’s most outstanding minister

Terror-minded Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, has been adjudged the most outstanding minister of the year.

Revealing this on its official Facebook page on Thursday, the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy disclosed that the award was conferred on the under-pressure minister by a media outlet, People and Power Magazine.

Explaining why the troubled minister with damning ties and sympathy to terrorist groups and murderous inclinations, the ministry said, “The accolade according to the magazine is in recognition of the laudable policies developed by the ministry under the supervision of the honourable minister such as the revolutionary NIN-SIM data linkage, the National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy for a digital Nigeria, among others.”

The Islamic cleric recently endorsed the 5th Generation (5G) mobile network deployment, awaiting the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari and most recently extended the deadline for the NIN-SIM link to June 30, 2021.

Beloved by Mr Buhari, Mr Pantami plotted with some Muslim leaders to violently wipe away Christians from northern parts of Nigeria.

Mr Pantami chaired a July 13, 2010, meeting of Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), a foremost Isla mic body led by Sultan of Sokoto Sa’ad Abubakar, where it was agreed that Christians should be prohibited from building churches in the city centre across the North and only build churches around designated corners away from the cities.

They also agreed that evangelism should be prohibited, and any attempt by Christians to resist the measures should be met with violence.

“They should know that we have more control of the masses and the youth,” Mr Pantami and other Muslim leaders said during the meeting held at Bauchi Central Mosque. “Any attempt by the Christians to disobey or revolt against the decision shall mean fighting against the religion of Allah which the followers of Allah shall not watch, but we shall violently wipe away the Christians in these states.”

The Muslim leaders also complained about Christians in Plateau and Kaduna and disclosed their plans to cause mayhem by enlisting Muslims in the security agencies as allies.

“The Muslim Ummah in Jos have solemnly resolved to fight the governor, his government and the entire Christians in any way possible. They shall never support this government, and they will destroy any development that shall come to Plateau, even the existing ones.

“Again, they are ready for Jihad in the state as we have presently secured the needed arms. Over 3,000 foreign arms have now entered Jos, and we will not vote during the governorship election,” the communique seen by Peoples Gazette said.

Mr Pantami and his colleagues also concluded that they “shall use our men who are in the military to help us bring arms and ammunition into Kaduna.”

Nigerian troops on Monday apprehended and killed foreign nationals aiding the activities of Boko Haram in the West African region.

The troops ambushed the foreign Boko Haram insurgents after receiving intelligence reports of their presence in Sambisa Forest, a military source told Peoples Gazette.

The foreign terrorist fighters were killed in a shootout with Nigerian soldiers.

While the origin of the killed insurgents remains unclear, the development, however, coincided with longstanding claims that foreigners, especially individuals from the Middle East, are fighting alongside the jihadists around the war-torn Lake Chad region.

The activity of Boko Haram in the West African region has continued to adversely affect the socio-economic growth of countries in the region, with investors relocating from terror torn states.

In Nigeria, the jihadist group has continued to heighten the security problems of the northern region, claiming responsibility for series of abductions and killings.

In April, The Gazette reported how Boko Haram insurgents took over Shiroro, displacing over 3,000 people.

Apart from occupying Shiroro, the insurgents also imposed VAT and income taxes on residents.

Also, in April, about 65 communities in Niger reportedly signed a N20 million peace deal with Boko Haram terrorists to avoid attacks on their communities.

This followed President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to guarantee the safety of lives and property in the state that had witnessed several violent attacks and kidnaps by Boko Haram.

Mr Buhari’s pledge to tackle the country’s security challenges has been severely questioned after he took sides with terror-linked communications minister Isa Pantami.

Mr Pantami faces an avalanche of criticisms amid calls for his resignation following The Gazette’s reports of his avowed support for terrorist groups like Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram.

However, Mr Buhari, who acknowledged that Mr Pantami supported terrorist organisations and incited the Muslim communities against Christians in the North through a declaration of jihad and fatwa, insisted that the “apology” of the minister was enough to heal the wounds and console the victims of his divisive past.
