LATEST UPDATE:
Boko Haram: Oyegun accuses FG of connivanceFROM DESMOND MGBOH, KANO
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has accused the Federal Government of allegedly promoting insurgency.
He made the remarks in Kano yesterday when he paid a condolence visit, on behalf of his party, to the people and government of Kano State, following last Friday’s bomb attack on the Kano Central Mosque.
He said: “We cannot, but begin to believe that there is an active connivance from those who ought to be protecting us, from the government that we put in place to be protecting this nation.”
Odigie-Oyegun, who was accompanied by chieftains of the party, sympathized with the state over the incident. He also donated N5million on behalf of the party.
He lamented that the nation is gradually crippling to a state of anarchy, fearing that if the trend continues, Nigerians would one day wake up to discover that the nation has become ungovernable
His words : “We are in a situation where we have a government, we have security service which now seems to be totally either unwilling or impotent, both of which are equally bad, because they are not willing to control the situation or you are also powerless that you are unable to control the situation.
“The fear today is that we are gradually crippling towards anarchy. We are not talking of den guns anymore. We are not even talking about pistols; we are now talking of automatic weapons in the hands of people all over; in every part of the nation,” he added.
“A leadership that cannot summon the will nor the courage to take decisions are diverting us from that purpose. Nigeria has become a name that is despised, virtually despised world-wide. Even our own African brothers are beginning to virtually laugh at us” he stated.
In his remarks, the state Deputy Governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, who stood in for the governor, regretted that the Federal Government has been underfunding the Joint Security Task Force that it created to fight the terror war.
He, however, added that the security agencies and the state government are liaising to secure lives and property.
