LATEST UPDATE:
Jonathan has not failed the North –KashamuChairman of Mobilisation and Organisation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Buruji Kashamu, has berated President Goodluck Jonathan’s critics, saying the allegation by the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) that the president has failed the North is “most unfortunate.”
Kashamu said what was expected at this time was for all Nigerians to rally round the present administration in its efforts to end insurgency in some parts of the North.
In a statement issued yesterday in Lagos, Kashamu said: “I note with dismay the attempt by the ACF to heap the blame of the security challenges bedevilling the North-East on President Jonathan as if they were his creations. Terrorism is a global phenomenon and requires broad-based cooperation. It is unfair that whereas the rest of the world is collaborating with the Federal Government to arrest the situation, some of our otherwise respectable citizens are promoting disunity among our people. We should take a cue from other climes where the citizens support those in government once the elections are over.”
He said it was important for all patriotic Nigerians to support the present administration to achieve its Transformation Agenda, adding that it was by so doing that the nation’s development could be steady and sustained.
On the insinuation that ACF’s intervention had political undertones, Kashamu said it was advisable for the respectable northern leaders to support President Jonathan for a second term to have the “political equity” to negotiate in 2019, adding: “Our northern brothers and sisters need to know that we all need to jealously guard and protect this edifice called Nigeria because if it is destroyed, there will not be anywhere to call home.”
