ACN Attacks Jonathan on Boko Haram Amnesty call - "your reasons are not logical"

Reacting to the president’s visit to Borno and Yobe states last week, the main opposition party in the country said that the visit which it labelled a ‘show-off’ has worsened the insurgencies that has killed and maimed hundreds of innocent people, especially in the two states.

It would be recalled that President Jonathan’s visit to Borno and Yobe States last week was mainly to salute the patriotism of the military Joint Task Force (JTF) for keeping down the maiming and killings of residents in the states.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the ACN said while the decision to grant amnesty to any person or group is the prerogative of the government, the argument advanced by the President for denying amnesty to Boko Haram members is as illogical as it is puerile.

It said “for a President who has unwisely stayed away from the beleaguered part of the country for too long, last week’s visit only succeeded in inflicting additional pain and insults on the victims of the insurgency, who could have used a little dose of succour and empathy from their leader.

”There is no doubt that there has been an upsurge in attacks and killings since the President’s visit, with the clashes between the JTF and the insurgents leaving many dead, drive-by shooting in Kano claiming the lives of innocent people and the unfortunate killing of foreign hostages who were abducted last month in Bauchi.

”If this upsurge can be used as a barometer to measure the success or otherwise of the President’s visit, then one can only reach one conclusion: The visit is a total failure!” ACN said - channels
